Abstract My research primarily focuses on the understanding of NOx effects on Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation to improve the prediction accuracy on SOA of air quality models, with the use of smog chamber and SAPRC gas-phase mechanism. I have developed novel methodologies simulating real-time NOx conditions in smog chamber and SAPRC, which provides more representative SOA parameters and better sensitivity to NOx conditions on SOA prediction. I have also studied effects of ethanol content in fuels and drive condition on SOA from gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles using a mobile environmental chamber.
In addition to SOA, I have also conducted several field studies on primary emission from marine vessels. I have studied the impacts, which includes air quality, global warming and health risk assessment, of switching from traditional diesel fuel to natural gas on marine vessel, one of the first comprehensive studies on natural gas vessel.
I’m planning to graduate by June 2020 and currently seeking for job opportunities in industry, consulting or government after I graduate. (No geographical preference).
