"The Earth is what we all have in common." — Wendell Berry
Hi there!
Welcome to my website! I am Debatosh Banik Partha, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) at Northwestern University. I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering in 2024 with a focus on atmospheric science & public health from the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Wayne State University where I worked as a doctoral researcher in the HUANG group.
I completed my Master's in Civil Engineering from Wayne State University and did my Bachelor's from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh.
My scholarly research primarily focuses on atmospheric chemistry, air pollution, and public health and their application to community well-being and policy reform through atmospheric model development, air quality analysis, and health risk assessment. I develop and employ chemistry-climate and chemistry-transport modeling like GEOS-Chem and CAM-Chem along with emission inventory (e.g., CEDS) analysis, field data measurement, and exposure-response functioning to quantify the impacts of anthropogenic & natural emissions of air pollutants on ambient air quality and human health.
Apart from research, I love to drive, go on road trips, go camping, backpacking, hiking, kayaking, eat out, and think & act on the well-being of earth's atmosphere. My latest CV can be found here.
