Project Title: Emission of reactive nitrogen (Nr) from wildfires, and relationship to burning temperature

Mentor: Ilann Bourgeois, CIRES/NOAA Chemical Science Division

Bio: Mai was born in Sudan and came to the US four years ago where she needed to learn English rather quickly, but she devoted time to learning and over time was able to acquire confidence in her new skill. She is now currently studying at the Community College of Denver where she lives with her spouse and two boys and plans to transfer to the University of Colorado Denver this fall semester.

Mai’s interest in the field was developed through working as a pharmacy technician where she admired the way in which medicine was able to heal and ease people’s pains, building on compassionate instincts held since she was a child. It is Mai’s goal to further her studies in biology and become a knowledgeable pharmaceutical professional capable of providing people with the right medicine to best help them.

Mai is looking forward to meeting all of the RECCS team members and getting started!
