R Subramanian, Research Fellow

R Subramanian has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2004), followed by postdoctoral stints at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Droplet Measurement Technologies (Boulder, Colorado, USA) where he continued as a research scientist through 2011. He worked at RTI International (RTP, North Carolina, USA) for a year before returning to CMU in 2013 as a research scientist in the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies. His research includes source apportionment of ambient aerosol, studies on black carbon emissions and atmospheric aging, methane leakage from natural gas facilities, and most recently, the development and use of lower-cost air quality monitors. Since November 2018, he has been a MOPGA laureate at OSU-Efluve, studying intra-urban variations in air pollution and filling in air quality data gaps worldwide using low-cost sensors as part of the project "Make Air Quality Great Again".
