个人简介

An elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Meteorological Society (AMS), and American Geophysical Union (AGU). The scholar developed state-of-the-art methodologies for atmospheric chemistry, weather, and climate research, including experimental techniques to elucidate gas-phase kinetics and aerosol chemistry, instruments to measure trace gases and aerosols, and regional and global models to represent aerosol and cloud processes. Investigations provided critical insights into the fundamental formation mechanisms and impacts of fine aerosols or particulate matter (PM), explaining the chemistry behind the historic 1952 London Fog and contemporary severe hazes in Asia. Research on aerosols and their radiative forcing improved the assessment of black carbon (BC)'s role in global warming. Work advanced understanding of adverse health effects on early life development due to exposure to ultrafine particles. During the COVID-19 pandemic, research provided pivotal evidence on airborne transmission and efficacy of masking. Earlier research contributed to understanding mechanisms behind the Antarctic ozone hole formation. The scholar was honored by a named symposium at the 2016 National Meeting of the American Chemical Society and received the Humboldt Research Award in 2023. The scholar mentored 23 doctoral dissertations, 11 Master theses, 28 postdocs/research scientists, and 14 exchange graduate students, with alumni employed in academia, government, and industry.
