Lab Assistant in the Gross Lab focusing on atmospheric and aerosol chemistry. The main project of the Gross Lab is based in Ethiopia developing cleaner cookstoves to reduce biomass burning and improve overall human health and air quality. In addition to the cookstove project this summer, our lab created a new project focusing on the changes in global air quality due to lockdown and preventative measures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
