In this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, we’re excited to welcome Tonmoy Ghosh, a Master’s student in the Department of Civil Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Tonmoy’s journey into environmental engineering began with a deep passion for improving the quality of our environment and leaving a better planet for future generations.

Tonmoy shares his inspiration for pursuing environmental research, particularly his focus on identifying environmental challenges and exploring sustainable engineering solutions. His dedication has led him to develop an innovative project titled “Use of Low-Cost Sensors for Addressing Environmental Justice.” This project measures air pollutants using affordable sensors to promote equity and accessibility in environmental monitoring—breaking barriers for underserved communities.

As the winner of VoLo Foundation’s prestigious VISTA Award, Tonmoy is being recognized for his leadership in Vision, Innovation, Sustainability, Technology, and Action in climate solutions. His University will receive a $10,000 grant to advance his project and further its impact in the fight against climate change.

Tune in to hear Tonmoy discuss:

• How his project was inspired and developed.

• The critical environmental challenges it addresses.

• Its potential impact on communities and the environment.

• How he plans to use the $10,000 VISTA grant to further his mission.

Tonmoy will be presenting on the main stage at the 2025 Climate Correction Conference, hosted at The Celeste Hotel in Orlando, FL, on March 12-13, 2025. Be sure to grab your tickets at volofoundation.org/https://volofoundation.org/climate-correction/ and join us for this inspiring event.
