I have been studying since 2012 in atmospheric modeling field and I am pursuing to gain PhD degree in this field. Previously, I have been working on agricultural damages due to ozone exposure, urban air quality for PM10, PM2.5 and long\/short range transport of aerosol, model verification analyses and urban heat islands.<\/p>\n<p>My studies focus on regional scale atmospheric\/air quality modeling, adjoint sensitivity analysis and micrometeorology. I use dynamic atmospheric circulation and chemical transport mathematical models such WRF\/CMAQ modeling system and CMAQ-Adj to conduct the studies. Besides, I use Python, NCL and R software to analyze the outputs.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from my research, I am also teaching assistant at the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Honestly, I love and enjoy teaching. I am also working towards my EDC (Education Development Centre) Certificate, to help with my teaching development. Also, I had had opportunity to tutor GIS applications on Hydrological Studies and WRF\/CMAQ modeling system before I attended to Carleton family.
