Abstract I am a Ph.D. student from Georgia Tech with aerosol chemistry background. I have worked on both field and laboratory studies in the past four years. I am experienced in aerosol characterization, environmental chamber studies, and data analysis for online mass spectrometry instruments.
My research projects include: 1) Method development: response of HR-ToF-AMS to inorganic sulfate and organosulfur compounds, where I developed a method to estimate the abundance of organosulfur based on HR-ToF-AMS measurements; 2) Field study: OA composition at a rural site in southeastern U.S., where I focused on obtaining new insights into SOA evolution by combining HR-ToF-AMS and FIGAERO-HR-ToF-CIMS measurements, with the use of OA factorization analysis; 3) Chamber SOA study: small organic acid formation from BVOC oxidation, where I aim to investigate small organic acid formation mechanism and explain the gap between model predictions and ambient measurements of organic acids; 4) Aerosol health effects (secondary role): health effects of laboratory-generated SOA from different precursors, where we evaluated the health effects of SOA generated from different VOC systems using both chemical and cellular assays.
My anticipated graduation is around spring 2020. I am interested in post-doc level positions in academia or industry. I do not have any geographical preference. I am comfortable to continue as an experimentalist but am also willing to take up new challenges.
