I am an assistant professor of industrial
hygiene in the Department of Occupational and Environmental
Health. My research involves understanding and controlling
aerosols in the workplace and the environment as they relate
to human health. My recent projects include assessing ultrafine
particles in heavy vehicle manufacturing, measuring ultrafine,
fine, and coarse particles with passive samplers, and assessing
exposure to aerosols in various occupational and environmental
settings.
 I
have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in environmental
engineering from the University of Florida, and a PhD from
the University of North Carolina, so now I have teams to root
for in the SEC, the ACC, and the Big Ten.
I have worked in aerosol research for over
15 years to evaluate real-time aerosol measurement devices,
develop aerosol generators used in EPA human  exposure
facilities, investigate turbulence effects on coarse filters,
and evaluate size selectors used in chemical speciation samplers.
One of the most exciting times in my career was when I was
involved in the development of EPA’s National Ambient
Air Quality Standard for particulate matter under 2.5 µm
(PM2.5); during this time, I was responsible for developing
and testing PM2.5 sampling hardware, conducting field tests,
and drafting portions of the Code of Federal Regulations.
