I am a PhD candidate and I work in David Medich’s lab performing resuspension experiments. Currently, my objective is to determine how changing the deposition surface affects the suspended fraction above the surface. I use europium oxide powder as a suspending mass and determine the amount of europium in the air by sampling the air, then performing neutron activation analysis on the air sampler filters. When I am not in the lab I enjoy hiking, climbing, video games, and underwater hockey.
