Abstract Number: 463 Working Group: Meet the Job Seekers
Abstract Job type(s) of interest: Research Scientist/Postdoctoral researcher in Federal/Non-federal Research Labs or Academia, Academic faculty position
Desired area of interest: a) Atmospheric science, b) Aerosol dynamics, c) Atmosphere-biosphere interactions, d) Atmospheric/Earth system/ecosystem modeling, e) Food-Energy-Water-Air/Climate nexus, f) Air quality/climate/agricultural/public health policy
My previous research focused on mechanistic estimation of soil Nitrogen emissions in atmospheric model and their mitigation, critical to air quality and climate. My work is published in leading journals: Rasool et al., 2016 and Rasool et al., 2019 (Geoscientific Model Development) focus on modeling Soil Nitrogen emissions by integrating soil biogeochemistry in a regional-scale atmospheric model (CMAQ). Pourhashem and Rasool et al., 2017 (Environmental Science and Technology) quantifies potential public health benefits of using Biochar as a soil amendment in agriculture across US to mitigate soil NO emissions. The soil Nitrogen research was funded by NASA’s Air Quality Applied Sciences Team program. For both Rasool et al., 2016 and 2019, model source codes with comprehensive and user-friendly documentation have been disseminated online to be accessed by a wide array of Earth Scientists through Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Distributed Active Archive Center for Biogeochemical Dynamics.
I have collaborated and published with federal scientists while working as a visiting scientist at National Exposure Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency (in Summer 2016) and remotely with scientists from NASA, NOAA and US Department of Agriculture.
I am currently working on incorporating mechanistic representation of phase state and separation in atmospheric aerosols that influences multiphase chemistry and secondary organic aerosols yield predicted in both regional- and global-scale atmospheric models.
