Project Title: Emission of Aerosol During Covid-19 and Global Impact
Mentor: Erik Larson, CIRES/NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory
Bio: My name is Mai Abdelrahman; I was born in Sudan and came to the US five years ago. When I moved to the US, I had to learn English very quickly, but I devoted my time and began to improve with time. I am married now and have two boys. I graduated with an associate of science from the community college of Denver. Now, I am attending the University of Colorado Denver.I started working as a pharmacy technician at a local Walgreens pharmacy; I chose this job because I have admired the way medicine can heal and ease people’s physical pains since I was a child. I want to further my studies in Biology and become a knowledgeable pharmaceutical professional who will be capable of providing people with the right medicine. This is my second year in the RECCS program. I hope to gain valuable scientific knowledge and an understanding of the research process. Our project this summer will help To detect and quantify changes in anthropogenic aerosol emission associated with the pandemic lockdown. I am very excited to see how our project will be developed in the next five weeks and look forward to the results at the end.
