Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelsey Bilsback is a Principal Scientist in Golden, CO with nine years of experience at the intersection of engineering and atmospheric science, specializing in air pollution measurements, emissions quantification, and atmospheric modeling. At PSE Healthy Energy she uses modeling tools to quantify air quality, health, and equity impacts of energy policies, including work on methane leaks and utility portfolios. Her PhD work and postdoc at Colorado State involved developing and running GEOS-Chem-TOMAS simulations, field and laboratory emissions studies across four countries, and extensive analysis of large netCDF datasets using Python, R, and MATLAB. She blends hands-on instrument and field campaign experience with advanced statistical model validation and science communication training for policymakers and the public. Notably, she has designed novel lab protocols for cookstove emissions and translated complex model outputs into actionable insights on health and climate trade-offs.
