Alexander Laskin is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University, focusing on Analytical and Physical Chemistry with specific interest in Atmospheric Aerosols. His research emphasizes the development and application of novel analytical methods for the comprehensive chemical characterization of aerosols, chemical imaging, and molecular characterization of environmental particles and interfaces. Laskin's work involves both laboratory and field studies aimed at understanding aerosol chemistry and its implications for climate change and public health. His ongoing research projects delve into the detailed characterization of particle composition, reaction chemistry, morphology, and the hygroscopic properties of particles, and the kinetics of gas-particle reactions. Understanding the interactions between anthropogenic and natural emissions, and the effects on individual particle composition, are central to his research. By investigating phenomena such as light absorbing organic aerosols, changes in atmospheric lifetime due to heterogeneous reactions, and the optical and hygroscopic properties of aerosols, Laskin's research addresses critical environmental challenges.
