Ajmal Rasheeda Satheesh

PhD Student

My Research is on determining a novel methodology to develop turbulent flux of atmospheric particles by combining a Doppler Lidar and a High Spectral Resolution Lidar. Eddy Covariance (EC) method will be used to determine the fluxes using the retrieved aerosol optical properties. The retrieved flux values will be compared with in situ measurements from the ARM Field Campaign at the SGP site in Oklahoma.

Jonah Hazelwood

PhD Student

My research involves designing a mobile data acquisition system (DAQ) to accurately measure sub-20 nm nanoparticle concentrations and emissions based on known sources, sinks, and behavioral patterns of nanoparticles.

Matthew Romm

PhD Student

My research focuses on ocean-atmosphere interactions, with an emphasis on how iron aerosol deposition influences phytoplankton growth. My work makes use of both modeling techniques using the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and remote sensing.

Stephanie Bachman

MS Student

My research focuses on source identification of sub-10nm particles using air dispersion models to backtrace measured particle concentration data. Utilizing the AERMOD Modeling System, my work evaluates the influence of micrometeorology on particle concentrations and reproduces the particle number dependence on the PBL height. 

Shennah Preble

Undergraduate student

Shennah is helping to develop a new class MEA 493 Atmospheric Sciences Instrumentation. The objective of the class is to develop a comprehensive atmospheric sciences instrumentation course for NC State University students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The course aims to provide students with practical experience in atmospheric instrumentation, addressing a critical gap in the current curriculum and preparing them for real-world applications in meteorology, air pollution, and climate fields of research.
