San Jose, California, United States
Currently conducting research in the field of atmospheric chemistry with a focus on understanding the chemical composition and behavior of atmospheric aerosols. My work involves the use of advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to characterize organic compounds and reaction products relevant to air quality and climate change. I collaborate closely with a team of researchers to analyze reaction kinetics and investigate the formation and transformation of secondary organic aerosols in laboratory-simulated environments.
Supporting public health initiatives focused on improving air quality, promoting lung health, and advancing environmental justice across underserved communities. As part of the Community Health team, I assist with educational outreach, program development, and data collection for projects related to asthma awareness, tobacco cessation, and clean air advocacy. I also help coordinate community workshops, analyze health trends, and contribute to campaigns that align with the organization’s mission to promote clean air and healthy lungs through advocacy, education, and research.
