Postdoctoral Researcher
School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma
Dr. Cathleen Ariella Simatupang holds dual Ph.D. degrees in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering from Mahidol University, Thailand, and in Natural Sciences from Macquarie University, Australia. Her interdisciplinary academic training is complemented by a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from Mahidol University and a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia.
Her doctoral research focused on environmental pollution, particularly soil contamination, PM2.5 air pollution, and heavy metal exposure in both air and soil, with an emphasis on health risk assessments. She also examined how outdoor air pollution affects indoor air quality, especially in a semi-open learning environment such as a childcare center.
Dr. Simatupang’s current research interests include ambient and indoor air quality, urban meteorology, satellite remote sensing, and environmental health. She is particularly focused on using modeling and monitoring tools to assess pollutant dynamics and support sustainable urban environmental management.
