Short Bio

•  I joined CAN lab in December 2023. I am interested in studying the effects of wildfire plumes on the urban air quality and climate change. I am currently working on the AEROMMA 2023 field campaign data. I am also eager to develop innovative chemical characterization methods for the Chemical Ionization Mass spectrometer and Aerosol mass spectrometers to measure the wide range of chemical species in the atmosphere.

•  When I am away from the lab, you'll find me jogging through the serene forest park on sunny evenings. I love playing field games and I try to play frisbee with my friends whenever there's a spare moment. I'm an ardent cricket enthusiast and movie addict. I also love cooking and baking during my break times. Gooey butter cake is my ultimate indulgence!
