Co-benefits for Air Quality and Health of Power Sector Decarbonization: Linking Air Quality and Power System Models
Minor(s): Applied and Computational Mathematics, Statistics and Machine Learning
This project aims to understand how the decarbonization of the power sector in India could lead to benefits in air quality and human health. I was mainly tasked with technical work involving data. My three most important tasks were mining data that will be used for future research and measuring data quality throughout the years, visualizing available data and building machine learning models that predict future air pollutant concentration based on meteorological inputs. This project has given me the opportunity to familiarize myself with scraping websites for data and experience in building machine learning models for practical purposes outside of the classroom. The experience has further reinforced my interest in technical work with substantial coding components and has inspired me to seek future employment opportunities in this field.
