Overview

Paul Linden is affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and works primarily in the fields of engineering, environmental science, and earth and planetary sciences. Their research spans several subfields including computational mechanics, environmental engineering, health, toxicology and mutagenesis, atmospheric science, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine.

Their work extensively covers topics related to wind and air flow studies, fluid dynamics and turbulent flows, infection control and ventilation, building energy and comfort optimization, air quality and health impacts, oceanographic and atmospheric processes, and indoor air quality and microbial exposure.

Paul Linden has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Adrien Lefauve, Rajesh K. Bhagat, Stuart B. Dalziel, Henry C. Burridge, and Shiwei Fan, reflecting a strong network within their research areas.

They have published in multiple scientific venues, with a notable number of contributions to the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, as well as publications appearing in arXiv (Cornell University), Indoor Air, Building and Environment, and Energy and Buildings.

Recent papers by Paul Linden include:

  • Effects of ventilation on the indoor spread of COVID-19, 2020, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
  • The ventilation of buildings and other mitigating measures for COVID-19: a focus on wintertime., 2021, Bristol Research (University of Bristol)
  • Displacement ventilation: a viable ventilation strategy for makeshift hospitals and public buildings to contain COVID-19 and other airborne diseases, 2020, Royal Society Open Science
  • Seasonal variation in airborne infection risk in schools due to changes in ventilation inferred from monitored carbon dioxide, 2021, Indoor Air
  • Predictive and retrospective modelling of airborne infection risk using monitored carbon dioxide, 2021, Indoor and Built Environment

Paul Linden's contributions have been recognized by their election as a Fellow of the Royal Society in the United Kingdom in 2007.
