Professor Dr. Drew Gentner

Biography

Drew R. Gentner is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University. He specializes in the analysis of urban air quality, focusing on emissions and their physical and chemical processes. His research addresses the impacts of non-traditional sources of organic chemicals on secondary air pollution and the formation of secondary organic aerosols. He has developed novel instrumentation methods to investigate the spatiotemporal complexity of urban air quality and has led projects examining the atmospheric evolution of emissions from various sources. Prof. Gentner has published extensively in prominent journals on topics related to air quality, including groundbreaking work on emissions from volatile chemical products and the effects of emissions on indoor environments. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.S. from Northwestern University. His research contributes significantly to understanding the complexities associated with urban emissions and their implications for air quality and public health.
