Aerosol Science and Engineering Summer School

3 units

Aerosol science and engineering encompasses the basic principles that describe the formation, growth, and evolution of a system of particles suspended in a gaseous medium, and the measurement, characterization, and modeling of their properties. Advances in this cross-disciplinary area of research are pivotal for improving our understanding and estimation of climate change; ensuring air quality protection; assessment of health impacts; and enablement of advanced material synthesis. This course will review the current knowledge on measurement, modeling, and characterization techniques for aerosols. It is team-taught and will involve participation by leading scholars across the country with expertise in aerosol science and engineering. This is a broad, introductory course for beginning graduate students and junior and senior undergraduates.
