Thesis title: "Modeling of Ultrafine Particle (UFP) Emissions and Ambient Levels for the Near Roadside Environment." Conducted continuous monitoring of air pollutants (CO, NO, NO2, PM2.5, Ultrafine particles) near an arterial road and freeway in Portland, OR and explored correlation among traffic related air pollutants.  Developed a simplified approach of calculating particle number emission factor and used R-LINE dispersion model to predict ultrafine particle number concentration near roadways.  Coordinated with state and local agencies (Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Oregon, City of Portland Bureau of Transportation, Neighbors for clean air) in order to integrate air quality and traffic data to assess exposure and transportation impacts.  Gained experience using air dispersion models (AERMOD, CALINE, CAL3QHC, R-LINE).  Gained experience with air monitoring instruments (Teledyne T200 chemiluminescence analyzer, TSI DRX DustTrak monitor, TSI Model 8525 P-TRAK ultrafine particle counter, Met One Aerocet 831 particle Counter, LI-820 CO2 Analyzer).
