Allen Robinson

Project title: Integrating Laboratory, Field, and Modeling Studies to Close the Organic Aerosol Mass BalanceAllen Robinson is a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Allen’s main interests are associated with the atmospheric transformation of emission from combustion systems, focusing on organic aerosols and regional climate. While at CIRES, he will be working with Jose Jimenez and Joost de Gouw and their groups to conduct experimental and theoretical studies of secondary organic aerosol formation and evolution. Experimental work includes portable smog chamber studies to investigate the gas-particle partitioning chemical evolution of biomass burning emissions at the Fire Science Laboratory in Missoula, Montana. The data will be used to develop new parameterizations for the chemical evolution of organic aerosols in biomass burning plume. In addition, measurements of low-volatility organic vapors will be made during the CalNex campaign in Los Angeles to investigate the sources of this material. Modeling efforts will be focus on implementing and testing new secondary organic aerosols in chemical transport models. Sponsors: Jose Jimenez, Joost de Gouw Email: alr@andrew.cmu.edu
