<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Biography of Dr. Jiachen Zhang </b>(<a href="https://sites.usc.edu/jzhang/">https://sites.usc.edu/jzhang/</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
