Project members (past and current)

Rileigh Robertson (PhD student), Henrik Helmig (undergraduate student), Smit Ajmera (MS student), Surya Goda (MS student), Liora Mael (postdoctoral associate), Avery Hatch (graduate student), Marina Vance.

We are going to areas affected by wildfire smoke to do valuable research on how smoke infiltrates into homes from the outside, and how it can be mitigated.

If you would like to sign-up to volunteer your home for two hours of research measurements please contact Rileigh Robertson, rileigh.robertson@colorado.edu, for more information.
