Lu Shen

I am an atmospheric scientist specializing in the chemical composition of the atmosphere and its interactions with climate. My research focuses on methane (CH₄), ozone (O₃), and PM₂.₅, leveraging numerical modeling, satellite remote sensing, and data assimilation to quantify sources, sinks, and environmental impacts. My work aims to enhance scientific understanding and provide policy-relevant insights into air quality, climate change, and greenhouse gas mitigation.

I earned a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Harvard University (2017), an M.S. from Tsinghua University (2012), and dual bachelor’s degrees in Statistics and Environmental Science from Peking University (2010). Following postdoctoral research at Harvard, I joined Peking University as an assistant professor in 2021, where I continue to integrate atmospheric modeling with observational data to address pressing environmental challenges.
