About

Are you a prospective graduate student interested in sustainable energy, air quality impacts of climate change, health impacts of air pollution? Visit https://uwaterloo.ca/scholar/rsaari

Experienced academic, national air issues scientist, and environmental engineering consultant

Research
I model air pollution and its human impacts, seeking to link sources of pollution to environmental and economic policies, like energy, climate change, and trade.
I develop modeling frameworks to simulate the components of this problem, including atmospheric processes and environmental policies, and to quantify their effect on our energy mix, economic prosperity, income inequality, and human health.

Interested In
Potential partnerships, collaborations, students, and discussion

Specialties
Air quality engineering, integrated assessment modeling, international air issues, global environmental negotiations and governance, atmospheric science, policy analysis, pollution control design, combustion process control, environmental optical sensor design, environmental assessment and permitting, environmental policy and regulation; business development and team-based project management; academic research
