2022 Environmental Division Graduate Student Paper Award

Kamaljeet Kaur

Kamaljeet Kaur received her Ph.D. in the field of Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah. Her research was focused on understanding and linking the physicochemical properties of combustion particles with the biological endpoints. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah and her work focused on source apportionment of particulate matter (PM) in 12 western US cities to understand the health effect of elevated winter-time PM and estimation of coarse PM levels using low-cost sensors.Read more

Haotian Yang

Catalytic converters in vehicles require expensive precious metals such as platinum, rhodium and palladium to reduce the toxicity of exhausts. To lower the usage of the precious metals, I am developing a novel nanomaterials system that only consumes 10% of the precious metals of conventional automotive catalysts. Another advantage of the system is that it is even more stable and has the potential to be more catalytically active than the conventional converters. Apart from the project above, my PhD work involves extensive topics: biochar for wastewater treatment, photocatalysts for hydrogen...Read more
