Curriculum Vitae

My research interests are primarily in air pollution and public health. I conducted undergraduate research in the development of affordable alternative catalyst materials for electrochemical nitrate reduction for water treatment and in analyzing gas-phase emissions profiles in New York City related to cooking. I have also done work in scientific communication related to climate change, public health impacts of fossil fuel emissions, and risk analysis of data continuity for earth observation satellites. With Daniel Horton's Climate Change Research Group, I plan on using my diverse experiences and associated skills to run analytical models on emissions scenarios to effectively communicate, and ultimately improve upon, inequitable air pollution exposure in Chicago and the Great Lakes.
