The group develops computer simulations to describe aerosol particles created, transported, and transformed in the atmosphere. By using simulations in conjunction with observational satellite data, we aim to understand the impact of aerosol particles on human health, weather, and climate. This understanding guides the development of effective pollution mitigation strategies in response to global climate change. Aerosol particles are microscopic particles suspended in the atmosphere, with examples including dust, sea salt, and pollen from natural sources, along with man-made soot particles from diesel engines and sulfate particles from coal-fired power plants. In a typical urban environment, individuals inhale approximately 5 million particles with greatly varying sizes and chemical compositions. Aerosol particles have dramatic impacts on weather and climate; for example, they can block and absorb sunlight, which changes the heating of the Earth, and they also act as seeds for producing water droplets in clouds. I am looking for new graduate students to join my group. Please contact me with questions about potential projects and the application process.
GRE is optional for admission to all graduate programs in Statistics. Full status admission requires higher language scores than limited status.
