Tegun Young

Tegun graduated from ASU with a BS in Chemical Engineering in Spring 2025. He is now pursuing his PhD in Chemical Engineering at ASU while being a WARM Graduate Research Assistant. He has a strong interest in air quality control, environmental engineering, and public health, which led him to initially join WARM as an undergraduate research aide. His work on the WARM project focuses on supporting installation of indoor air quality monitors and outreach efforts to improve air quality in affected communities. Tegun appreciates the dynamic, hands-on nature of the lab and the opportunity to collaborate with experts from different fields to develop real-world solutions for air quality challenges. His doctoral studies examine the intersection of environmental engineering, atmospheric chemistry, and public health. Tegun was also recently selected as a recipient of the 2025-2026 Phoenix/Scottsdale Groundwater Contamination Scholarship for Environmental Science by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Outside the lab, he enjoys reading, crocheting, roller skating, and hiking with his dog.
