Abstract
I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Energy, Environmental, and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. My research focuses on understanding the chemical composition and properties of organic compounds of aerosols and developing a database tool and data processing method. I'm conducting chamber experiments to investigate gas-particle phase partitioning, particularly concerning indoor semi-volatile organic compounds depending on particles' physical and chemical properties. For this, I utilize measurement instruments, including two types of thermal desorption aerosol gas chromatography-mass spectrometers (TAG). Additionally, I have developed an aerosol mass spectrometer mass spectral database tool and automated quantification method for large GC-MS datasets.

My anticipated graduation is in July 2024. I am looking for positions in industry, government, and postdoc roles.
