Vision

Research efforts here enhance understanding of aerosol phase, solid/liquid/gas partitioning, and liquid-liquid and ice-water morphologies that have impacts on human health, air quality and climate change. Although this research emphasizes mostly atmospherically relevant systems and pharmaceutical products, the measurements and modeling are useful to any application that requires thermodynamic predictions in complex aerosols.
