Graduate Student

I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University. My research in the Westervelt Aerosol Group focuses on air quality, atmospheric aerosols, air sensors, ultrafine particles, and satellite remote sensing. I use ground-based observations from air-sensor networks and regulatory monitoring data, integrating them with satellite and reanalysis products to characterize particulate pollution and its sources. I also regularly engage in community outreach, educating citizens about air quality and pollution.
