Research Interests:

Aerosol Engineering, the science and technology of fine particles in gases, with applications to air pollution and advanced materials. 

The synthesis of fine particles in narrow size ranges with controlled crystalline properties is an emerging technology with important industrial applications.  Such particles when formed under uncontrolled conditions and emitted to the atmosphere may pose a threat to public health.  My students become familiar with (and take jobs in) both the air pollution and advanced materials fields of application.  Support is currently available for both doctoral and postdoctoral students with exceptional records of achievement.
