Joshua Apte is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the School of Public Health and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on air pollution, environmental justice, and climate change mitigation, with interdisciplinary applications ranging from atmospheric chemistry to urban planning.
Education: ScB in Environmental Science from Brown University (2004), MS and PhD in Energy and Resources from UC Berkeley (2008, 2013). Prior to Berkeley, he held an Assistant Professorship at the University of Texas at Austin (2015–2020).
Research interests emphasize air pollution exposure assessment, risk equity analysis, and environmental sensors. His work explores disparities in pollution exposure linked to historical redlining, urban infrastructure, and socioeconomic factors. Recent studies highlight persistent inequities despite regulatory improvements in California and global trends in particulate matter reduction.
Publications focus on high-resolution air quality mapping, health impacts of PM2.5, and policy implications of pollution sources. Collaborative projects include calibrating low-cost sensors in India and evaluating electrification benefits in transportation sectors.
No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Advising and grants details are not included, though his dual appointments suggest involvement in interdisciplinary research teams.
