Demetrios Pagonis

I am currently researching the chemistry of wildfire smoke aerosol. I am leading the deployment of an extractive electrospray mass spectrometer aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft for the FIREX-AQ campaign, taking place summer 2019. Other projects focus on indoor air quality, aerosol chemistry, reactions of multifunctional hydroperoxides, and gas-wall partitioning in Teflon environmental chambers and Teflon sampling lines.
