Fotini Katopodes Chow

Tina Katopodes Chow is the Fred and Claire Sauer Chair Professor in Environmental Engineering and a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The research in her group focuses on numerical modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer to improve predictions for air pollution dispersion, greenhouse gas emissions, and wind energy, among other applications. The research uses analytical and computational methods to quantify climate change mitigation strategies and air pollution effects on community health, and to improve weather and transport models. She has received the prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the PECASE award.
