Prof. Joshua Apte

We've moved!

Effective July 2020, we've moved to UC Berkeley. Please visit our new website at http://apte.berkeley.edu/

From 2015-2020, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas. Effective 7/1/2020, I have moved to UC Berkeley, and maintain an affiliate appointment at UT-Austin. Prior to joining UT-Austin, I was the ITRI-Rosenfeld Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

My core training is in air quality engineering and in techniques for air pollution exposure assessment: understanding the sources, physicochemical transformations, and spatial patterns of the pollution that people breathe, and methods for reducing these exposures. I also have experience in data science, energy analysis, and health risk assessment. Much of my research is motivated by a desire to identify technologies, policies and strategies for improving the environmental sustainability of cities and the built environment, and to reduce inequities in exposures to environmental contaminants. I have a strong regional interest in Asia and elsewhere in the developing world.
