Jaydee Edwards is a 5th year PhD student in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science. Her research focuses on a sub-category of microplastics, known as tire- and road-wear particles, that accumulate in road dust. To collect her samples, you may find her out and about in Philly with a broom and dustpan or a vacuum in hand. When she isn't looking at road dust, she may be out for a run, hanging out with her cats and roommates, or more often, taking a nap. She's excited for the opportunity to join the Grad Center team and is looking forward to the year with them.
