Coty Jen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and a member of the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies. His research focuses on understanding the chemical composition and physical properties of atmospheric aerosol particles and their influence on air quality and climate. Jen aims to disentangle the chemical complexity of the atmosphere by measuring and developing semi-empirical models that describe the numerous compounds and reactions that help form and grow atmospheric particles. Through these models, he seeks to predict how human activities alter air quality over decades. His group specializes in developing novel aerosol measurement techniques to evaluate the physical characteristics and molecular make-up of atmospheric particles, including those produced by wildfires and complex atmospheric reactions. Jen has received several prestigious awards such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and the NSF AGS Postdoctoral Fellowship.
