Dr. Makoto Kelp (https://makotokelp.com/) is recruiting 1-2 PhD students to join the Air Quality Data Science group at the University of Utah starting Fall 2027. Tuition and stipend support will be provided.

My research group focuses on applying modern machine learning methods to policy-relevant problems in air quality/climate/weather. We are especially interested in multimodal ML for wildfire smoke and the potential for AI foundation models to improve ozone, aerosol, and dust projections.

How to apply:
Interested candidates should review the group’s research page and complete the Google Form on the website (https://makotokelp.com/openings/) before applying. I will reach out to applicants to set up a Zoom call for admissions. Ideal backgrounds include atmospheric science/meteorology, computer science, environmental science and engineering, data science, or related fields.

Please circulate, and feel free to ping me if you’d like to recommend someone!
