Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Thomas Walker. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Professor Walker's research focuses on the integration of data analytics, simulation of atmospheric chemistry and transport, and Earth observation satellites to study the combined effects of atmospheric pollution on health and climate. He promotes engineering education using alternative modes such as hackathons and citizen science to prepare students for work with industry in data analysis. His specific research interests include air quality management systems, atmospheric chemistry and physics, climate change, remote sensing, satellite Earth observation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analysis, analytics, and uncertainty quantification. Application areas include identifying methane fluxes from wildfires, wetlands, agriculture, industrial sources, assessing reductions in air pollution using green infrastructure, informing air quality and climate change policy mitigation strategies, and developing modeling frameworks for air quality management, as well as incorporating mobility data in modeling disease propagation.
Includes MEng and MASc options.
