Cesunica Ivey

Cesunica Ivey is an Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Strategic Planning in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on air pollution assessment, air quality modeling, atmospheric modeling, community-centered resilience, community-led climate adaptation, exposure monitoring, and environmental justice applications. Ivey leads the Air Quality Modeling and Exposure Lab (AQMEL) and collaborates with community organizations across California to address environmental disparities and promote climate resilience. She is also involved in research projects examining the impacts of meteorology on air quality and the development of computational methods for improved air pollution predictions.

Cesunica Ivey is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on air quality, climate, and environmental justice. Their work explores the interplay between atmospheric chemistry and climate change, emphasizing societal shifts and feedback mechanisms. Ivey investigates strategies to address racial-ethnic exposure inequalities and advocates for air quality policies that quantify disparities. They employ advanced modeling techniques, such as hybrid chemical transport and receptor models, to analyze PM2.5 sources and their health impacts. Research also includes evaluating surface fluxes, source apportionment, and the role of aerosol properties in environmental health. Ivey's studies highlight the importance of data-driven approaches to characterize community-scale air pollution exposure and improve public health outcomes.
