Multiphase Environmental Chemistry in the Atmosphere

Sherri W. Hunt received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota. After a postdoctoral research position with Barbara Finlayson-Pitts at University of California, Irvine, Hunt spent two years as a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow. In 2006, she joined the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a physical scientist in the Office of Research and Development. Her work involves research planning and coordination for agency scientists and the extramural STAR grants program. Research expertise and topics include understanding, monitoring, and modeling air pollution and its health effects. Alexander Laskin received his undergraduate degree from the Polytechnical Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1991 in Physics, and Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, in 1998. Following postdoctoral research appointments at the University of Delaware, Princeton University and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), he was a senior research scientist at PNNL. In 2017, he joined Purdue University as a Professor of Chemistry. His present and past research interests include physical and analytical chemistry of aerosols, environmental and atmospheric effects of aerosols, chemical imaging and molecular level studies of aerosols, microspectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry of aerosols, combustion-related aerosols, combustion chemistry, and chemical kinetics. Sergey A. Nizkorodov received his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Novosibirsk State University and graduate degree in physical chemistry from Basel University. After doing postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and in atmospheric chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine (UCI). His primary areas of expertise are molecular spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chemical reaction dynamics, and photochemistry. spectrometry, chemical reaction dynamics, and photochemistry.
