Xiaomeng Jin is a PhD Candidate in Atmospheric Chemistry at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of Columbia University. Her research aims to advance process-level understanding of air pollution and inform policy making process. Her research uses a wide range of tools, including atmospheric models (e.g. GEOS-Chem, CMAQ), satellite observations, and ground-based monitors. She is working on developing a space-based indicator that could inform the most effective emission control strategies for surface ozone pollution over populated regions.
Xiaomeng received her Bachelor of Engineering in Remote Sensing from Wuhan University. She received her Master of Science in Environment & Resources and Energy Analysis Policy from University of Wisconsin-Madison. As an ISEP fellow, Xiaomeng is working on developing models to study the transport pathways of emissions from power plants and how they affect the air quality of residential areas over India.
