Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Mei Tessum. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Mei Tessum's research focuses on air pollution monitoring, environmental exposure modeling, and aerosol measurement control technology. She is particularly interested in developing air quality monitoring strategies to collect high-quality air pollution data and producing accurate exposure estimates for health studies in ambient occupational settings using advanced statistical machine learning methods. Her work involves devising new approaches to measure aerosol properties and improving control methods for respirable particles. Before joining the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Mei was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences and served as a staff epidemiologist at the China National Institute of Environmental Health. She completed her formal training with a Ph.D. in Environmental Health, focusing on exposure science and industrial hygiene at the University of Minnesota, as well as a medical degree from Tongji Medical College in Wuhan, China.
