PROJECT TITLE<br />
Distribution of Air<br />
Pollution in India<br />
ORGANIZATION(S)<br />
Mauzerall Group,<br />

I worked with the Mauzerall Group to understand<br />
the distribution of air pollution in India and<br />
how air pollution policies impact the air quality<br />
and greenhouse gas emissions in India. For<br />
example, how the switch from coal-fired power<br />
generation to greener sources of energy would<br />
affect air quality. My main contribution over the<br />
summer was data collection for future analysis.<br />
I worked to automate the data collection process<br />
and transform data files into machine-readable<br />
formats. I also helped conduct a literature review<br />
and recommended articles for future reference.<br />
Through this internship, I gained experience<br />
using the coding language Python and the<br />
geospatial analysis program Google Geocoding<br />
API.<br />
