MINTS-AI

As an undergraduate, I worked under Dr. David Lary in the Multi-Scale Integrated Intelligent Interactive Sensing lab at UT-Dallas. My primary role was working with the lab’s Portable Mass Spectrometer, and assisting in work on sensing systems in the city of Plano.

Honor’s Thesis: Characterizing the Impacts of Environmental Chemicals on Human Health

Guyana 2022 Summer Field Institute (SFI)

The Summer Field Insitute was developed as part of an NSF Career Grant for my professor, Dr. Anthony Cummings. A team from UT Dallas, the University of Guyana, and the Bina Hill Institute conducted field research in the Rupununi, surveying local farmers on their experiences regarding climate adaptation and traditional practices under Dr. Anthony Cummings (2021 NSF Career Grant).

The Air Quality Lab

My current job is at the HEART Air Quality Lab, where several other students from the MINTS lab are working to connect top-tier atmospheric sensing instrumentation with modeling of air quality and chemical kinetics.

More details to come as they are made available…

Exciting research tools I love. Note that I am not an expert on all of them, and am still learning about most of them. So I wouldn’t recommend emailing me with specific questions! Although you’re welcome to.
