Andrew Grieshop

Bio

Dr. Andy Grieshop is a Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, North Carolina State University (NCSU), which he joined in 2012. Dr. Grieshop’s research focuses on interactions between energy use and the environment, and more specifically on improving our technical understanding of the emission and atmospheric transformations of air pollutants. This work aims to inform effective policies to improve air quality and mitigate climate impacts in both developed and developing countries. Recent research includes collaborative projects to quantify the emission, indoor concentration, and health and climate impacts of cookstove replacement programs, deployment of low-cost ambient sensing packages in rural Malawi, laboratory measurements of photochemical aging of biomass burning emissions, field measurements to characterize evolution of vehicle emissions in a near-road environment and lab and field measurements of the volatility of organic aerosols. His work integrates laboratory and field based experimentation with modeling and policy analysis efforts to address environmental problems. His research has been funded by the NSF, US EPA, the Health Effects Institute and the UN Foundation, and he received the CAREER Award from NSF in 2014 and the NCSU Outstanding Global Engagement Award in 2021. He teaches Environmental Engineering courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and is the Faculty Advisor for the NCSU Chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Dr. Grieshop received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, his MS in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University, and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia.
