Abstract
My name is Colby Buehler and I am currently a PhD Candidate at Yale University studying Environmental Engineering under advisement by Dr. Drew R. Gentner. I anticipate finishing my degree in Spring 2024 and being available in Summer 2024. My research has focused on low-cost air quality sensors and their ability to answer questions that traditional measurement techniques struggle with. After constructing a fleet of low-cost monitors for the Solutions for Energy, AiR, Climate, and Health (SEARCH) center, I have applied them to a variety of topics: representation error for global aerosol climate models, changes in the role of urban roadway emissions in Baltimore, and exposure to pollutants in homes, to name a few. Additionally, I have conducted modeling studies of indoor air quality and maintained FRM and FEM instruments at a coastal site in Connecticut as a part of the AEROMMA field campaign.

I am open to many different types of positions but I have a preference to those which afford teaching opportunities or to a post doc position or other research position in the area of low-cost sensors or urban air emissions. I have participated in many programs to teach high school students during my studies, mentored numerous undergraduate students on impactful research projects, and been a teaching assistant for chemical and environmental engineering courses. I am preferably looking for opportunities along the east coast of the United States but am open to other options. I look forward to discussing any and all opportunities, enjoy AAAR!
