Ph.D., Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis
Research interests: My research is based on understanding and solving complex air pollution challenges using chemical transport modeling, satellite remote sensing and in-situ measurement networks, from global to local scales. My specific interests include sources of air pollution, particulate matter, greenhouse gases and their contribution to the health burden. I also work on developing high spatial and temporal resolution air quality monitoring and emissions estimates using constraints from satellite remote sensing.
