James D. East

I am an environmental engineer and atmospheric scientist. My research uncovers drivers of change in the local to global atmospheric environment, using satellite observations of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, models of atmospheric chemistry, and inverse modeling.

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group led by Professor Daniel J. Jacob in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University.

I completed my doctoral research under Professor Fernando Garcia Menendez in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University. My graduate research was supported by an ORISE Fellowship at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where I was mentored by Dr. Sergey Napelenok and Dr. Barron H. Henderson.
