Bradley Conrad
Postdoctoral Researcher
Brad completed his Ph.D. with Professor Matthew Johnson at Carleton University, where he completed his undergraduate work in 2013. The focus of his doctoral research was the field measurement of Black Carbon (BC) emissions from upstream gas flares in support of Theme 5 of the FlareNet Strategic Network. He performed measurements of BC emissions from flaring activities in Ecuador, Mexico, and Alberta. The overall objective of his graduate work was the improved characterization of BC emissions from flaring under field conditions and the advancement and standardization of the sky-LOSA measurement technique.
