Aerosol 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. In addition to the lead instructor, this course will facilitate the involvement and participation of leading scholars with expertise in aerosol science and engineering. This is a broad, introductory course for beginning graduate students and senior undergraduates.
