Biography

Miriam Freedman is a Professor of Chemistry in the Eberly College of Science at Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on the physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles and their interactions with light and climate. Freedman studies the structure, shape, morphology, and composition of aerosol particles to determine their impact on climate and weather systems. She has conducted extensive research on heterogeneous nucleation and the phase separation of organic and inorganic aerosol particles, utilizing techniques such as cryo-transmission electron microscopy and cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Her work aims to improve understanding of particle acidity and its effects on atmospheric processes. Through field studies and laboratory experiments, she investigates ambient particle morphology and composition with the goal of developing innovative methods for studying aerosol behavior. Freedman has received multiple awards recognizing her contributions to the field of chemistry, including the ACS Physical Chemistry Division Early-Career Award and the Penn State Eberly College of Science Dean’s Climate Diversity Award.
