Research
Research Labs
Aerosol research has several state-of-the-art laboratories available for performing research in the focal areas of emphasis. Facilities are primarily located in Brauer Hall and Green Hall.
ACT Laboratory
Through novel laboratory and field measurements, the ACT Laboratory is operated by Brent Williams and intends to determine the sources, composition, transformation and fate of atmospheric biogenic and anthropogenic organic gases and particles, which are detrimental to human health and alter the earth's energy balance.
Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group
Led by Randall Martin, this lab applies satellite observations, global models and in situ measurements to improve understanding about the processes controlling air quality, climate and biogeochemical cycling.
The lab devotes particular attention to emissions and other processes affecting tropospheric ozone and aerosols. Satellite remote sensing is yielding unprecedented insight into global atmospheric composition by observing regions and phenomena that are otherwise difficult to observe.
Atmospheric Science & Engineering Laboratory (ASE)
Led by CASE Director Jian Wang, the broad theme of the ASE lab is to understand key processes that drive the properties, distribution and evolution of aerosols (also known as particulate matter), and to elucidate and quantify the effects of aerosols on air quality, biogeochemical cycle, hydrological cycle and climate. The overall goal is to obtain a predictive understanding of aerosol properties, processes, and effects to address the grand challenge of actionable projection of future climate and environment.
Complex Aerosol Systems Research Laboratory
Interface Research Group
Led by Elijah Thimsen, the Interface Research Group covers four distinct research areas: (1) nanocrystals and atomic layer deposition (ALD), (2) electron transport in assemblies of nanocrystals, (3) low temperature plasmas for the processing of materials and (4) photovoltaic manufacturing
Lacer Laboratory
Led by Richard Axelbaum, LACER develops novel approaches to reduce emissions from power plants. We have a global view on energy, and try not be get bogged down on what is popular, but rather focus on what we believe has long term impact.
The Jay Turner Laboratory
The Jay Turner group applies science tools such as monitoring and modeling to air quality planning and management and human exposure. We also work on green engineering including life cycle assessments for processes and products.
