Dr.Vikram Choudhary is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Engineering Division of the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Madras. He did his B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from 2010 to 2014 at NIT Jalandhar. Later, he obtained his Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Engineering in 2018 and 2023, respectively. His Master's and doctoral research focused on the evolution of the physicochemical characteristics of organic aerosols and their impact on Earth's climate. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Choudhary joined the Air Pollution Exposure Laboratory (APEL) in the Department of Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, as a postdoctoral scholar. His postdoctoral research involved the characterization and integration of an oxidative flow reactor to produce real-world aerosol compositions for controlled human air pollution exposure studies at APEL. Additionally, he investigated the effects of the chemical composition of air pollutants on cellular responses and biological pathways in vitro. His research interests include understanding the atmospheric and cryospheric chemistry of aerosols in controlled (laboratory) environments, toxicology, and air pollution control devices.
