James D. East

I use satellite data and computer models of the Earth’s atmosphere to understand emissions of chemicals to the air and the subsequent impacts on air quality and climate.

Currently, 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.

Follow my research at Google Scholar and ORCiD. Code for some of my work is on my Github.
