Eloise Parry-Nweye, Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical Engineering, Seeking Industry/Government/Postdoc Position
ELOISE PARRY-NWEYE,
Syracuse University Abstract Number: 787
Working Group: Meet the Job Seekers
AbstractI am a 5
th year Ph.D. Candidate at the College of Engineering & Computer Science, Syracuse University, NY. I also successfully completed the coursework requirement with a GPA of 3.81/4.00. Previously, in 2018, I received my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Chemical Engineering from the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, PA. Additionally, in 2019, I obtained my Engineer in Training (EIT) license and certification in New York. A copy of my engineering certification (Certificate #: 094198) can be found at https://account.ncees.org/rn/1989635-1172170-7c0c08a.
My doctoral research is in understanding the synergistic effects of environmental factors (TVOCs, humidity) and material properties on viral persistence. In my most recent study, I investigated the humidity-dependency of viral persistence on porous materials. Previously, I established effective sampling methods for viral aerosols which I deployed towards evaluating the efficacy of varied air cleaning technologies in removing infectious virus from air. In addition, I studied the interaction of TVOCs with viral aerosols under ambient conditions, as trace VOCs are inevitably emitted from building materials into indoor air. My experiments have been conducted in a full-scale aerobiological chamber which simulates a realistic indoor environment.
I will be presenting my research, “Persistence of Phi6, a SARS-CoV-2 Surrogate, in Simulated Indoor Environments: Effects of Humidity and Material Moisture Adsorption”, during the AAAR 41st Annual Conference
Special Symposium, “Aerosol Science and Infectious Disease: Infectious Bioaerosol Fate”, on Thursday.
Given my scholarly, professional, and extensive research experience in the fields of
bioaerosols, infectious diseases, and biochemical engineering, I am seeking industry/government/postdoc positions to continue to leverage my expertise and add value.
