Abstract
Hi! I'm in the final year of my PhD candidacy at Columbia University in New York City, where I work on air pollution, community science, and international climate policy. I'm in the Westervelt Aerosol Group and previously worked on decarbonization at the White House, earth observations using satellites and fighter jets at NASA, living on a NOAA ship, and leading an environmental strategy consulting org in Berkeley. I sit on the BAAQMD Advisory Council, and I'm an AGU Community Science Fellow, Data for Progress Fellow, Lead Teaching Fellow at Columbia, and a State Department Air Quality Fellow. Recently, I was honored with the Dr. Devon T. Wade Mentorship, Service, and Advocacy Award, which is given annually to one PhD candidate at the Columbia University commencement. Previously, I have also been awarded the Women in Science Incentive Prize and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I graduated with degrees in Data Science and Civil/Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley where I was a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar. When I'm not doing science, you can find me watching musical theatre on Broadway or picking up a new sport every few months. I'm looking for jobs in energy / climate / policy / finance, starting in Summer 2025. I'm open to postdocs, tenure-track positions, fellowships, or full-time jobs in NYC, San Francisco or Paris. I'm open to remote positions and excited about positions that involve working with stakeholders, especially internationally. Learn more about me on my website at graheja.github.io.
