Biography

Dr. Zohir Chowdhury joined SDSU in the Fall of 2007 as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Environmental Health (EH) Division in the School of Public Health. Dr. Chowdhury completed a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004. Prior to joining SDSU, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher and a Lecturer in the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley.

Dr. Chowdhury’s research interests are in Air Pollution focusing on particulate matter (PM)-both in urban and in rural regions as well as in indoor and in outdoor environments. Particulate matter air pollution has been of concern not only in the US but all over the world since it causes respiratory and cardiac problems, visibility reduction, and a documented effect on global warming. Dr. Chowdhury’s research seeks to characterize this particulate matter (PM) air pollution, develop instruments and methods to measure it, and understand its health effects. He is a member of the American Association of Aerosol Research, Air & Waste Management Association, and International Society of Exposure Analysis.
