• Research Associate - Air Quality Modeler

  • Sep 2009 - Aug 2017

  • Conduct research for complex, deadline-driven, multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with private and federal government agencies (EPA, NASA, TRB, FAA, etc.). • Operate, develop, and evaluate air quality dispersion, chemical transport, and “statiscally based“ air quality models. • Develop and implement technical approaches to evaluate atmospheric models. • Devise and utilize post-processing applications/tools for dynamical and statistical evaluation of air quality models. This includes development of Python and R applications for data mining, data management, QA/QC, and visualization. • Prepare technical reports and presentations that convey the atmospheric modeling results to upper management and scientific experts. • Provided instruction on the basics of air quality modeling focusing on photochemical modeling and on the various components of the Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system to a broad audience (e.g., Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, etc.). This included hands-on laboratories on how to run the model and evaluate its results.
