Aerosol Chemistry Group
Our group is focusing on the understanding of the chemistry and physics of aerosol particles from marine and anthropogenic sources and their climatic impacts. Recent works include physicochemical characterization of particles, ice nucleation ability of atmospheric particles, reactivity of aerosol particles, single particle analysis, marine particle emission, cloud microphysics, and instrumental developments.
We are looking for undergraduate, graduate students, and postdoctoral associates who are interested in the lab or field works in the areas listed above. We currently have several research positions for graduate students and postdocs on the projects including but not limited to: 1. ice formation on particles; 2. physical and chemical characterization of atmospheric aerosol particles; 3. instrumental developments for single particle analysis; 4. particle emission from marine sources; 5. Cloud microphysics (measurement and modeling). Please contact us if you are interest in our work or joining our group.

Our coauthored review paper entitled "The Role of Organic Aerosol in Atmospheric Ice Nucleation: A Review" was published in ACS Earth and Space Chemistry.
Predicting the formation of ice in the atmosphere presents one of the great challenges in physical sciences with important implications for the chemistry and composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, the hydrological cycle, and climate.
This review focuses on the role of organic matters or organic aerosols acting as ice nucleating particles in ice nucleation processes in the atmosphere, summarizing and highlighting recent advances in our understanding of the ice nucleation process gained from theoretical, laboratory, and field studies.

Our coauthored paper entitled "In situ solid-state electrochemistry of mass-selected ions at well-defined electrode–electrolyte interfaces" has been published today in the PNAS early edition.
2016/11/02
Update:
Our paper entitled "Direct Observation of Ice Nucleation Events on Individual Atmospheric Particles" was accepted by Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics and was online on Sept. 14. Now it is in final form and is featured in back cover.
To the best of our knowledge, our study presents first time visualization of individual ice nucleation events at the nanometer scale on the micrometer size atmospheric particles. The study also demonstrates the unique capability of the IN-ESEM platform for investigations with precise control of temperatures and RH, critical to study low temperature ice formation processes relevant to atmospheric science, cryobiology, and material science.
