This project aims at better understanding the doctoral nucleation of atmospheric aerosols mechanisms ionization mass spectrometry chemistry. These projects are currently supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Atmospheric aerosol particles affect climate, atmospheric composition, air quality and human health. Nucleation is a gas that in the process of converting solid particles or liquid particles that aerosols directly to the gas phase species, but the nucleation mechanisms are poorly understood. We will investigate ways of sulphuric acid, ammonia and organic compounds contribute to the nucleation of aerosols.
Successful candidates must have a first degree in a relevant subject (generally, chemistry or physics), has a strong background in physical and analytical chemistry, and have excellent pilot and good computer skills.
Doctoral Students will be fully compatible with a stipend of $ 20-22K per year, either directly by NSF through donations or teaching assistantship.
