Biography

Frank Keutsch is a Stonington Professor of Engineering at Harvard University, specializing in Atmospheric Science and Chemistry. He is also an Affiliated Faculty Member in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. His research group, the Keutsch Group, focuses on improving the understanding of photochemical oxidation processes involving volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that lead to the formation of tropospheric ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA). These components significantly influence human health and climate change, representing key uncertainties in current estimates of anthropogenic climate forcing. The scientific approach of his group includes enabling new field observations to investigate key VOC oxidation intermediates and developing innovative instrumentation methods.
