I am currently working to integrate nucleation into GEOS-Chem, a global CTM. Model evaluation is a key component to the research I am undertaking.

M.A.Sc., Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada, 2002My research focuses the quantification of social and environmental externalities of energy generation with an emphasis on the impact of the air emissions on urban air quality. Of specific interest is the quantification of the human health impact for policy applications. This work is funded by the Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center (CEIC) and the Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS).

I developed a new aerosol simulation model (DMAN: the Dynamic Model for Aerosol Nucleation). Ternary nucleation (H2SO4, H2O, and NH3), condensation, and coagulation are explicitly simulated with a two-moment (number and mass) algorithm. DMAN deals sulfate, ammonium, and organic matter as components of particles. According to a result of the model simulation, nucleation period can be divided as two phases. The first part is forming new particles with neutral growth because of an abundance of ammonia. The second part is acidic growth without forming new particles [Atmospheric Environment, in press]. I am now incorporating DMAN into the 3D chemical transport model, CAMx.

Co-advised by Prof. Cliff DavidsonI am working on the mineral dust aerosol implementation on GISS GCM global aerosol model and the model evaluation using remote sensing data. I am interested in the aerosol indirect effect especially the giant CCN effect by mineral dust.

Ph.D., Department of Chemical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, 2008I am studying the indirect effect of aerosols on climate. Specifically, I am currently exploring the effect of ultrafine particles from anthropogenic emissions and gas to particle nucleation on clouds and climate. I am also exploring the effect of natural aerosol uncertainty on the indirect effect uncertainty.

Doctoral Candidate, Engineering and Public Policy
B.Tech, Mechanical Engineering, 2001 &
M.Tech, Energy Systems Engineering, 2003, I.I.T BombayMy research interests include studying the impacts of climate change on global chemistry, smart techniques to model air quality and meteorological episodes, and model development and evaluation. For the global climate and chemistry modeling I am working with a unified model of climate, gas phase chemistry, and bulk aerosols. Related interests include coupling the global model with regional meteorological and chemistry models. The eventual goal is to understand how global climate change impacts regional air quality in the United States

Incorporating size-resolved aerosol microphysics into the global model GEOS-CHEM is my current research task. Next step would be the evaluation of the microphysics model by comparing with field campaign measurements. Eventually the model will be improved toward better understanding of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation and would contribute to the better estimation of aerosol indirect effects.

Ph.D. Engineering and Public Policy and Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, 2005Rob Pinder's thesis focused on improving the temporal and spatial variation in agricultural ammonia emissions, developing tools for evaluating ammonia emission inventories using regional air quality models, and assessing the cost-effectiveness of reductions on ammonia emissions for the control of PM2.5. He currently has a post doctoral research position with the Environmental Protection Agency.

BS, Environmental Engineering, Tsinghua University, 2000I am studying carbonaceous aerosols and mineral dust using a highly size-resolved simulation of aerosol microphysics, size distributions, number and mass concentrations in the GISS general circulation model (GCM). The indirect effects of carbonaceous aerosols and mineral dust on climate are studied by predicting the CCN concentrations in this model as a first step.

I am working on the effects of climate change on future air quality. I am especially interested in atmospheric chemistry and how it will change in the future. I hope to work on issues of air quality policy.
