Suresh Raja

Dr. Raja has over ten years of experience in air quality management. His innovative contributions to the air quality management field include: development of methods to monitor and model spatial distribution of ambient particulate matter, indoor air quality and its effect on asthma symptoms, and development of methods to test emissions of criteria pollutants from new advanced high efficiency stationary combustion systems. His specific experience in air compliance related work include Title V, Non-Attainment New Source Review, Permits-By-Rule, and air quality modeling for several clients in the oil & gas sector, and in the general chemical manufacturing and industrial sectors. He also routinely serves as an expert witness in air quality litigation cases using air quality modeling tools he has developed to simulate source contribution analysis, and plume dispersion modeling tools developed by the USEPA. In addition to this, Dr. Raja has an in-depth understanding of the science behind dispersion models such as AERMOD and CALPUFF. Dr. Raja has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal papers and presented over 30 peer-reviewed conference papers. He currently serves as a reviewer for journals such as Atmospheric Environment, Environmental Science and Technology and the Canadian Journal of Environmental Engineering. He is a member of ACCESS VIII, a colloquium organized by the Brookhaven National Laboratory. ACCESS (Atmospheric Chemistry Colloquium for Emerging Scientists) is a highly selective program that brings together young atmospheric scientists from around the world for scientific discussions. Dr. Raja has current and past experience in teaching graduate-level and senior-level classes such as industrial air pollution control, air pollution modeling, atmospheric chemistry, and air pollution measurement and monitoring.
