Biography

Andrew Ault is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. His research group focuses on understanding complex environmental systems, with an emphasis on atmospheric aerosols and indoor surfaces. By utilizing a range of spectroscopic and microscopic methods, including Raman microspectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, Ault's laboratory aims to characterize the physicochemical behavior of aerosols, which are crucial to the Earth's climate system. Aerosols, which are solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, play significant roles in regulating climate and health by influencing radiative transfer and precipitation processes. Ault's research seeks to directly measure aerosol properties such as acidity and composition, developing innovative methods for analyzing atmospheric particles. His work has significant implications for understanding the environmental and health effects of aerosols, particularly as they relate to climate change. He has been recognized for his contributions to the field with awards such as the Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Ault's efforts in analytical chemistry continue to contribute to discussions surrounding air quality and climate research.
