Biography of Dr. Jiachen Zhang ( https://sites.usc.edu/jzhang/ )

導(dǎo)師張佳辰本科就讀于北京大學(xué)物理學(xué)院大氣系，博士就讀于USC。她專長于氣候和空氣質(zhì)量的數(shù)值模擬，在空氣污染物傳輸、城市熱島效應(yīng)控制措施、及應(yīng)用可再生能源的環(huán)境影響評估等研究領(lǐng)域發(fā)表了近20篇論文。她的研究成果被應(yīng)用于洛杉磯和加州政府的空氣污染減排政策以及美國綠色建筑標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制定中。在回USC任教前，她在加州空氣資源委會任交通污染評估組主管，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊進(jìn)行大數(shù)據(jù)分析和模型開發(fā)，為加州機(jī)動車減排法規(guī)的制定提供依據(jù)。張博士也曾在多家非營利組織任職

Dr. Jiachen Zhang is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). Her research group investigates the interactions of air quality, climate, and society, quantifying the health and equity impacts of strategies aimed at mitigating climate change and air pollution.

Dr. Zhang holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from USC and a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from Peking University. During her doctoral and postdoctoral studies, she utilized and enhanced various climate and air quality models to assess the environmental impacts of adopting solar reflective cool surfaces, renewable energy, and electric cars. Prior to returning to USC, Dr. Zhang was the manager of the Mobile Source Technology Assessment and Modeling Section at the California Air Resources Board, where she led a team of scientists and engineers to conduct original research projects, develop emissions inventory, and inform first-of-their-kind policies aimed at promoting electric vehicles and reducing air pollutant emissions. Additionally, she chairs the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Committee of the Chinese-American Engineers and Scientists Association of Southern California and serves as the secretary of the Air & Waste Management Association West Coast Section.

USC是一所享譽(yù)全球的私立研究型（R1）大學(xué)。位于洛杉磯市中心的USC周邊匯集了領(lǐng)先的技術(shù)公司、前沿的研究機(jī)構(gòu)、和引領(lǐng)環(huán)境政策的政府機(jī)構(gòu)，為合作和職業(yè)發(fā)展提供了豐富的機(jī)會。
