Xiaomeng Jin

Xiaomeng Jin serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, where she leads research on atmospheric chemistry and air pollution dynamics. Her work bridges observational science with computational modeling to address critical environmental challenges.

Her academic background includes:

• PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences, Columbia University (2020)
• NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of California, Berkeley

Dr. Jin's research focuses on atmospheric chemical processes driving surface ozone and fine particulate matter formation, utilizing satellite remote sensing, in-situ measurements, and advanced computer models. Her investigations span urban to global scales, examining pollution sources, transformation mechanisms, and environmental health impacts. This interdisciplinary work integrates atmospheric physics, chemistry, and environmental policy frameworks to develop actionable air quality solutions.

Her distinguished recognition includes:

• NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship

Dr. Jin actively mentors emerging scientists through her research group, recently welcoming six new members including graduate students Siyi Wang, Yu Tian, Jiaqi Shen, Chitral Samala, Zaina Merchant, and Charlotte Orton. She maintains an active recruitment pipeline, announcing a postdoctoral position in atmospheric chemistry in March 2023 to expand her team's analytical capabilities.

Her laboratory employs cutting-edge observational networks and modeling systems to investigate pollution-climate interactions, with ongoing projects examining biomass burning emissions, urban pollution dynamics, and satellite data integration for real-time air quality forecasting.
