About

Christine Troller is a PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering. She is advised by Dr. Coty Jen and is a member of CMU’s Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies. In 2021, she received her bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Connecticut. Her research relates to oceanic-atmospheric interactions with a warming climate. Currently, she is focusing on identifying marine algal emissions and their participation in atmospheric nucleation processes. She also plans to explore how marine algal emissions will be altered with the changing climate. Her research goal is to provide better estimations of the relationships between algal emissions, marine nucleation, and climate change, which will improve climate model predictions for oceanic cloud formation.
