Hi, I'm Alejandra Montejo πŸŒπŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬

Air Quality Researcher & Atmospheric Modeling Specialist πŸ“‘πŸŒ«οΈ

Typing SVG

πŸ‘‹ Welcome to my GitHub Profile!
I am a passionate researcher focused on atmospheric chemistry, air quality modeling, and climate change. My work revolves around analyzing anthropogenic emissions, monitoring pollutants, and implementing models like WRF-Chem to understand air pollution dynamics in urban environments.

πŸš€ Professional Journey

I am a researcher in the Air Quality Group at Universidad de los Andes and the leader of the Air Quality Governance Strategy in BogotΓ‘'s Environmental Secretariat. I have worked on atmospheric modeling projects, personal exposure to pollutants, and environmental governance.

I have experience working in both the public and private sectors, contributing to air quality policies, environmental governance frameworks, and technological advancements for pollution monitoring. In the public sector, I have collaborated with governmental institutions to design and implement regulatory frameworks for air quality management. In the private sector, I have worked with environmental consultancies and research organizations to develop innovative solutions for emissions monitoring and control.

Currently, I develop citizen monitoring strategies and collaborative sensor networks to enhance public engagement and communication on air quality issues.

πŸ“€ Pursuing PhD

I am preparing for my PhD journey, focusing on atmospheric modeling and air quality research. Below is a preview of my research presentation:

PhD Research Presentation

My experience working with air quality data in BogotΓ‘ and MedellΓ­n has shown how external contributions significantly influence local air pollution levels. The following graph illustrates monthly average PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in both cities, highlighting seasonal variations and long-term trends:
