About me
I am an atmospheric scientist specializing in emission inventory development, air quality modeling, and satellite data analysis. Currently, as a Research Associate at Baylor University, I have developed the Process-Based On-Road Emissions for California (POREC) dataset—a high-resolution (1 km, hourly) emission inventory created by coupling EMFAC and ESTA. POREC provides the first fine-scale mapping of California’s on-road pollution that explicitly isolates non-exhaust emissions—specifically brake and tire wear (BTW)—alongside exhaust and evaporative processes to enable precise air quality modeling and health risk assessments using WRF-Chem.
My previous work at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) within the Tropospheric Composition Group introduced the Trace Gas Atmospheric River (TGAR) framework to track long-range pollution transport during extreme events using CrIS satellite observations, reanalysis datasets (TCR-2, MOMO-Chem), and in-situ data.
Prior to JPL, I supported the ICIMOD Atmospheric Watch Initiative through the NASA SERVIR project, validating air quality models against satellite and ground measurements
