Abstract
I am a PhD candidate in the Environmental Science and Engineering program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). My main research interests are atmospheric aerosols and air quality. Previously, I participated in a NOAA summer research experience where I tried to incorporate a new dust scheme into HYSPLIT. As a member of the Atmospheric Research Laboratory at UTEP, I utilized air monitoring stations across El Paso, Tx city and ceilometer measurements to investigate the effects of high PM10 concentrations in the planetary boundary layer. This investigation lead to the finding of a planetary boundary layer height collapse around the time of high PM10. Currently, I am utilizing a photoacoustic extinctiometer (PAX) and thermal denuder to observe the impact of black carbon shell in optical properties. My previous research experiences have allowed me to learn programing languages Python and Fortran. I will be concluding my PhD degree in December 2024. I am looking for a postdoc position that will allow me to expand my knowledge in atmospheric sciences and to make me a more well – rounder researcher. Open to relocation.
