Abstract Number: 618 Working Group: Meet the Job Seekers
Abstract I received a joint Ph.D. degree in Chemistry and Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University in 2019. In my Ph.D. study, I worked on using state-of-the-art analytical techniques to measure physical and chemical properties of organic aerosols in laboratories in order to understand key processes governing the fate of organic aerosols. I used both the smog chambers at Carnegie Mellon and the CLOUD chamber at CERN to study atmospheric new-particle formation as well as gas-particle partitioning of atmospheric organic vapors. I also extended my laboratory studies to field measurements and characterized the chemical evolution of organic aerosols and human exposure to different sources of aerosols in an urban environment. I also have a strong environmental policy hoping to work at the interface of science and society in the long run.
I am currently a postdoc associate at MIT working on understanding the lifecycles of reactive nitrogen species in the atmosphere. I am interested in learning the complex interplays between naturally emitted reactive compounds and anthropogenic pollutants. I am seeking for international environmental-related jobs in academia, industry and government. Tentative starting time is in 2020 or 2021.
