EXPERIENCE

Modeling Scientist: New Mexico Environment Department, Santa Fe (01/2003 – Present)
• To perform and review air quality dispersion modeling with the use of the EPA regulatory 

models such as ISCST3, AERMOD, and CALPUFF in support of New Source Review 

and Title V permit applications.

• To provide technical guidance and information to consultants, industry, citizen groups, and 

Air Quality Bureau staffs.

• To attend pre-application meetings and process requests for model input information such 

as meteorological data and surrounding source emission inventories.

Post-doctoral Research Associate: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (01/2002 – 12/2002) 

• Developed Criteria Pollutant (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO, and Pb) Emissions Inventory 

Database for the State of Tennessee. 

Graduate Research Assistant: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (08/1999 – 12/2001)

• Simulated U.S. EPA CALMET/CALPUFF models to estimate ambient concentrations of 

NOx and SO2 and deposition of dry/wet nitrate and sulfate and a maximum change of 

visibility deterioration resulting from potential emission sources in East Tennessee area.

• Developed a modeling protocol for estimating atmospheric concentrations and deposition 

of acidic species resulting from the emission sources, using both CALPUFF screening 

technique and CALPUFF refined technique.

Graduate Research Assistant: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (05/1998 – 07/1999)

• Investigated the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) removal efficiency and adsorption 

characteristics of various commercially available activated carbon woven and non-woven 

fabrics at airflow rates, air temperature and pressure drop typical of an indoor air 

residential or small office environment. 

Graduate Research Assistant: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (01/1997 – 05/1998)

• Explored the effect of pre-filters on the performance of High Efficiency Particulate 

Assurance (HEPA) filters utilized for high efficiency removal of particles from gas 

streams.
