Saryu Garg-PhD Scholar
 
Saryu did her B.Tech in Computer Science and technology from Punjab Technical University. She joined the group as a PhD student in August, 2013. 
 
Her research focus is source receptor modelling. In particular she is developing novel techniques for the identification of local sources. She has also worked on quantifying the contribution of long range transport to PM mass loadings in the NW-IGP. More recently she has developed interest in identifying regional sources of black carbon and in quantifying the effect of current waste management practices on greenhouse gas emissions ant atmospheric chemistry.
