Abstract Number: 801 Working Group: Meet the Job Seekers
Abstract My Ph.D. dissertation focused on the development of a novel and low-cost personal sampler to monitor workers’ indoor exposure to sulfuric acid mists and sulfur dioxide gas in the occupational setting. I participated in a project to mitigate the particle soiling on the solar panel by alternating strong electric field. One current project is to apply a portable analytical method for on-the-spot qualification of respirable crystalline silica in construction industry to promote early exposure monitoring. Another current project is to design an in-stack sampler in saturated or droplet-laden stacks as an EPA Other Test Method. I apply computational fluid dynamics to evaluate and optimize the prototype. I have experience on aerosol generation, field measurement/sampling, chemical analysis such as ion chromatography, and computation fluent dynamics (Fluent & OpenFOAM). I am a team player and I have rich experiences working collaboratively with the consortium of construction safety and health, phosphate research institute, EPA, paper industries, and petroleum sector. My research interest includes engineering applications to environmental monitoring/mitigation in the occupational setting, air pollution control, and aerosol/gas instrumentation design. I am currently seeking for postdoctoral/engineer position in university/national labs/industry. No special geographical preferences.
