The Air we Breathe: Atmospheric Particulate Impacts on Climate and Human Health

Date and Time
Location
3rd floor Café Commons of the Millennium Science Complex
Aerosol particles impact the climate system through their interactions with light and clouds while also impacting human health by causing inflammation in the lungs. The Freedman group focuses on laboratory studies of aerosol physical and chemical properties, and in recent years, we have begun incorporating materials chemistry into our studies of ice nucleation and phase transitions under confinement. I am looking for ways in which our research may be applied more broadly in materials science and for applications to human health.
