Hamish Gordon is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interests focus on the effects of air pollution and natural airborne particles on clouds and climate. He received his B.A. in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 2009 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oxford in 2013, specializing in experimental high energy physics. He took on a postdoctoral position at the University of Leeds before joining Carnegie Mellon in 2019. Gordon's work in atmospheric science aims to develop weather prediction and climate models that can accurately represent the impact of airborne particulate matter on cloud dynamics. He has been involved in extensive fieldwork, including aircraft studies of smoke interactions with clouds over the south Atlantic Ocean, and participated in the CLOUD experiment at CERN from 2013 to 2016, which investigates new particle formation in the atmosphere.
