Research
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science working with Natascha Kljun on an urban flux footprint model. This work is part of the EU PAUL/ICOS Cities project, a European collaboration with the ultimate goal of understanding greenhouse gas emissions and reduction strategies at local or city scales. My role is to implement a flux footprint model with data collected at various urban flux towers in order to determine the relative contributions of local sources to total CO2 emissions.
Background
I completed my PhD in Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2023. I used mass spectrometry to measure volatile organic compound concentrations in residences, with a focus on how their composition changes between rooms based on purpose and sources. My work also emphasizes the importance of accounting for transport of indoor emissions to outdoor air in emissions inventories and air quality models.
