I am a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering at University of Arizona, starting in Fall 2024. I study air pollution-how it gets made, where it goes, who breathes it, and what happens to it.
Some current active research projects include:
- Understanding ozone formation and exceedances in urban Arizona
- Aerosol composition and sources, including dust, in Tucson
- Atmospheric transformations, sources, and impacts of ethylene oxide and other HAPs
- Mobile monitoring of urban air pollution
- Indoor air quality intervention assessment
Previously, I was Research Engineer in Peter DeCarlo’s lab in the Environmental Health & Engineering department at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to JHU, I worked as a postdoc in the Center for Atmospheric Particles Studies (CAPS) at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA on the EPA CACES project with Albert Presto, Allen Robinson, and others. CAPS is also where I did graduate school, working under the supervision of Neil Donahue in Chemical Engineering at CMU. Between my PhD and postdoc at CMU, I did a postdoc at the NOAA Earth Science Research Laboratory, in Boulder, CO.
I am always looking to recruit motivated students from undergraduate to Ph.D. to work on exciting science and engineering projects in both indoor and outdoor air quality. Please contact me if you are interested!
