Zoe received her BA in English Literature and Environmental Studies from McGill (2015) and her MASc in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto (2023). Her research focuses on measuring indoor airborne concentrations of viruses using quantitative filter forensics, as well as estimating classroom ventilation using DBSCAN clustered carbon dioxide decays from low-cost sensors, and reviewing literature on the costs and health benefits of improving indoor air quality.

Estimating Indoor Airborne Concentrations of SARS-CoV-2
Using the quantitative filter forensics equation and metadata, along with RT-qPCR data from dust vacuumed off of portable air cleaner filters, I estimated indoor airborne concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in covid-positive homes and in the community.
