Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical component of environmental sustainability and public health. With growing concerns about pollutants, allergens, and pathogens in enclosed spaces, there is an urgent need for smart and scalable solutions for air purification and monitoring.

This special session aims to bring together researchers, industry experts, and stakeholders to explore recent advances in networked systems for indoor air cleaning, with a special focus on:

• Distributed sensor networks for real-time IAQ monitoring;
• IoT-based air purification systems;
• Integration of machine learning and AI for predictive maintenance and control;
• Communication protocols and interoperability in air-cleaning networks;
• Energy-efficient solutions and sustainability assessments;
• Case studies from smart buildings, schools, hospitals, and transportation.

Livio D'Alvia , (Ph.D.) graduated in Electronic Engineering in 2013 and received a Ph.D. in Industrial and Management Engineering in 2018 from the University of Roma Tre and Roma La Sapienza, respectively. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Mechanical Measurements at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy. His current research spans from measurements for industrial and biomedical applications to those for Cultural Heritage. In particular, his main research tracks focus on measuring environmental parameters that involve decay effects on materials. He is also interested in studying the moisture level measurement of cultural heritage materials through the TDR method, dielectric characterization of tumor biological tissues (cells, muscle), and non-conventional measurements for pediatric applications. He is a member of the IEEE-IMS Instrument and Measurement Society and the IEEE Sensors Council.
