Main Focus
My
current research is focusing on the co-benefits of air pollution mitigations and
climate impacts. Specifically, I am interested in exploring how
reducing air pollution can help us tackle climate change, and the effects
of air pollution policies on energy use, economy, environment, climate, and public
health. By
integrating diverse fields such as energy, economy, environment, and health, my
work aims to provide a holistic understanding of how policies and interventions
shape sustainable futures.
