After a summer break, the AirUCI Internal Symposium will resume meetings this week for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  The first meeting will be held on Thursday, October 3rd in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided.
 
At this meeting, Jinlai Wei and Dr. Ting Fang, both from the Shiraiwa group, will talk about their work on reactive oxygen species (ROS). Jinlai will be talking about his research on...

Dr. Yoshizumi Kajii of Kyoto University in Japan will be hosted by AirUCI in a lecture on September 26th to be held in Rowland Hall room 390 at 4 pm.  The title of his lecture is "Ozone formation regime considering the HOx cycle and radical uptake by aerosols".  Prof. Kajii will also be spending time meeting with AirUCI researchers and touring our labs.

AirUCI will host a seminar by Dr. Tran Nguyen of UC Davis to be held August 30, 2019 from 12-1 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.  Her talk is entitled, “Alpha-pinene + NO3 reaction: dependence of secondary organic aerosol formation on the fates of the RO2 radicals”.

AirUCI co-Director Sergey Nizkorodov is co-convener of a symposium entitled “Fundamental Chemical Processes Common to Dissolved Organic Matter and Atmospheric Organic Aerosols”, which will take place at the 258th meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Diego CA, August 25-29, 2019.  This symposium seeks to bring environmental and atmospheric scientists together to help bridge the topics of aquatic chemistry and aerosol chemistry.  The confirmed invited speakers in this symposium include AirUCI faculty Annmarie Carlton and AirUCI collaborators and/or hosted guests Cort Anastasio (UC...

From August 25 - 29, 2019, a large contingent of researchers from several AirUCI groups will attend and present research results at the American Chemical Society International Workshop in San Diego.  Team members from faculty to undergrads will be sharing their posters, speaking to sessions, and attending various workshops at the event.

AirUCI faculty Alex Guenther will host a visit by a delegation from NARIT (National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand) and NIDA (National Institute of Development Administration) on August 20th.  NARIT became interested in regional air quality research because air pollution interferes with their astronomical observations.  They are developing strategies for coping with rising levels of air pollution in Thai cities and are interested in collaborative research activities with UCI.  As part of their visit, they will hear a presentation on AirUCI research and tour our labs and they...

On August 8, 2019, AirUCI will host several undergraduate Chemistry students from Reed College in a "UCI Day" event to learn about AirUCI research and our Chemistry department in general.  We'll give presentations on atmospheric chemistry research and other helpful information as the students consider UCI for graduate school.  AirUCI faculty Jim Smith and Professor Julie Fry of Reed College have a collaborative NSF grant and have developed a program between the two campuses that they call the “Near-Peer Mentoring Program” in which they have teamed up nine Reed undergrads with nine UCI...

The AAAR Student Chapter at UCI is presenting workshops in new data analysis tools to enhance research productivity and create figures.  Basic skills in Igor will be covered on Tuesday, July 30 in RH 390 from 12-2 pm as part of the Lunch and Learn series, open to undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and research scientists. This workshop will cover Igor installation, data visualization, and basics of using and coding Igor functions. There will be free time to manipulate the dataset and ask questions, so bring your lunch.
