Juan Pedro Maestre Wic

Environmental Scientist

Hi y’all! I am an environmental scientist living in Texas who works on projects to improve the health and wellbeing of undeserved communities. At The University of Texas at Austin, I research water and air quality and do outreach to bring our latest scientific advances to underprivileged schools via hands on activities. With the UT-Austin Whole Communities Whole Health project, our team created the open hardware Air Quality Beacon, which is being deployed in the field, gathering air quality data in homes. I am member of the GOSH community, for which I am extremely grateful as they introduced me to open hardware. I am very excited to be a member of this community too. I come to you from the University of Texas at Austin, TX, USA but Spain is my native.
