Doug has a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. His research resulted in an innovative new
sensor for assessing personal exposure to ozone.
Doug's current area of interest is to understand airflow and pollutant
transport in buildings particularly in relation to occupant health and
safety. He collects and analyzes field measurements of actual buildings
using tracer gas and pressurization methods. These measurements are
also used to develop and validate building airflow and pollutant transport
models such as COMIS.
Doug started at LBNL as a post-doctoral researcher in the Atmospheric
Sciences Group in 2001, and currently holds a Mechanical Engineer
position in the Airflow and Pollutant Transport Group.
