Area of expertise

Air quality, population exposure to air pollution, population health, transportation engineering, vehicle emissions, dispersion modeling

Background

• Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Victoria (2022-present)
• Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Diamond Environmental Research Group (2020-2021)
• PhD, Civil Engineering, University of Toronto (2016-2020)

Research

I lead the Clean Air (CLAIR) lab at the University of Victoria. The group's research is motivated by the need to improve urban air quality and minimize population exposure to air pollution to reduce the burden of air pollution on our health. We use empirical and physical models to analyze changes in air quality over time, understand the influence of urban features on air quality, and evaluate the impact of urban planning policies and changing meteorological conditions on population exposure and health.

Please visit the webpage of my lab for more information on my research, projects, publications and vacancies.
