Portrait of Katie Centofanti

Research

I am co-advised with Hope Michaelson in the Mechanical Engineering department. I am working on understanding the chemical mechanism for soot formation through vacuum ultraviolet aerosol mass spectroscopy. This will be used for models that predict wildfire spread.

Education

B.S. Chemical and Life Science Engineering, Virginia Commonwealth University (2023)

Fun Facts

I love whitewater kayaking and spending time outside. I used to work as a raft guide and I've seen a volcano explode!
