RESEARCH

  • Identification of surfactants on ambient aerosol particles (from forest fires and other biomass burning, from fossil fuels and other urban sources, from sea salt and mineral particles).
  • Heterogeneous chemistry of the surfactant interface-layer using ambient aerosols, laboratory experiments and modeling.
  • Environmental impacts of aerosol organic films
