Cheyenne Young

Cheyenne graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Science with the Atmosphere and Climate degree option in May of 2026. Her undergraduate research focused on determining boundary layer heights from the 2023 M2HATS field experiment. She also completed Dr. Mayor's Boundary Layer Meteorology course, ERTH 435, in the Spring of 2025 and Environmental Fluid Mechanics in Spring of 2026

She is now a graduate student in the Data Science M.S. program on the Applied Analytics track. She is currently investigating the utility of the purple air data to evaulate the performance of lidars.
