About me

Welcome to my website!

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Iowa, working under the supervision of Dr. Jun Wang. My current research focuses on developing an algorithm to retrieve Aerosol Optical Centroid Height (AOCH) for NASA’s TEMPO mission.

I received my PhD from Washington University in St. Louis, where I worked in the Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group (ACAG) led by Dr. Randall Martin. My research interests center on developing analytical and physics-based approaches to better understand the processes governing atmospheric composition and air quality. My PhD work emphasized efficient representation of aerosols in the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem, as well as applications to UV–Visible trace gas retrieval algorithms.

Before joining ACAG, I earned my master’s degree in Earth System Science and Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur). During my master’s research, I worked with Dr. A. N. V. Satyanarayanan on investigating the role of turbulent coherent structures in the transport of heat and momentum within the atmospheric boundary layer, using wavelet-based analysis techniques.

Outside of research, I enjoy road trips, working out at the gym, and watching science documentaries.
