All right might Amos -- -- I'm an associate pro seven. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- such interest largely on at a -- on particles are aerosol particles. And diesel particles that everybody ubiquitous. They have enough and son from an at quality and human health prospect have. From Annapolis Politico point of view with respect to climate change and and other aspects -- -- that -- -- But also an industry related to filtration and semiconductor industry because these could be contaminants that you want to get it off. -- large focus in his lap and our focus and those -- laws to concentrate on trying to. Build a new a better equipment. And it to be able to use these equipment for good scientific studies. We've got a lot of these instruments about for example different -- penalize those that vote commercially available -- the re custom built. And these instruments. -- -- to be able to. Study particles down to vote to nanometers in size and all the way up to several might come up to nearly a hundred microns. And applications. We have we get rid applying these instruments for example to studied to catch the -- of diesel emission particles from the latest engines that are coming -- a lot of these particles are really small -- about twenty nanometers sometimes. We had also deploying these instruments on at craft's -- fly were it. Scientists say it and caught a NASA to study atmospheric aerosol and see -- these particles of -- might be putting up from human activities. Influencing. Cloud formation and -- it climate change. From an industrial prospect of these instruments. Can operate a pretty low pressure -- Gordon ray small size that's. Which means SC -- -- industry starts focusing on smaller particles from. Contamination control point of view as the now -- the critical sites -- -- and links to sub fifty nanometer us these kinds of tools I think I'm gonna become really useful they can sample. From the low pressure us and provide us -- sites distributions. And under that -- conditions without. Well really needing to collect -- -- straight to Tata. While we can get the size distributions in -- -- from the ten seconds 2630 seconds so many fast measurements but can. Help us for example process equipment detect transient. Part of formations and so on. So to. To just -- conclude yet these instruments that -- -- generations from until we are working on in the -- yet. -- -- yet -- to me on smaller equipment that -- combat. I think will be will become really important as a sudden Kasinga. Challenges and the and that -- gonna come up in the next. A few yes and the next few decades -- So thank you for -- time and hopefully. -- And tested you and -- -- --
