Past Events

On Tuesday January 7th, AirUCI faculty Craig Murray will be hosting a visit from a group of high school students as part of his Teacher-in-Residence outreach program.  Along with lab tours and discussions that day, their symposium will be held in Rowland Hall room 390 beginning at 11 am.

On December 16-17, 2019, AirUCI will host a visit from Prof. Tao Wang of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.  He will be meeting with AirUCI faculty to discuss air quality research and tour our labs, and he will give a talk entitled "N2O5 heterogeneous uptake, chlorine activation and their impact on air quality" to be held on Tuesday, December 17 from noon - 1 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.

AirUCI will host a seminar by Shao-Meng Li of the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Peking University, on Monday, December 16 from noon - 1 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.  His talk is entitled "Emissions and Transformation of Oil Sands Air Pollutants Using Aircraft Measurements" (he is working with Environment Canada on this project).

The AirUCI Internal Symposium has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, November 21st in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30 for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided, and the speakers are Yan Zhao (McDonnell group in APEP) discussing his work on the effects of renewable gas content on stove top combustion, and Danielle Draper (Smith group) presenting her research on semivolatile organonitrates in nanoparticles at Hyytiälä...

AirUCI's AAAR chapter will hold an event on Monday, November 18th hosting a grad school application editing session for undergrads who are applying to graduate schools.  The event will take place from 2-4 pm in Rowland Hall 390.

AirUCI faculty Kim and Michael Fortun will present a seminar on November 12th from 12:30 to 1:30 in Rowland Hall room 390.  Bring your lunch while you listen to their talk, entitled "Air Pollution Science and Governance, Multi-scale and Multi-site: Historical and Ethnographic Approaches."
Kim and Michael are two of our newest AirUCI faculty members, having recently joined the UC Irvine School of Social Sciences, and they bring fascinating new approaches to AirUCI research.
 
 
 

The AirUCI Internal Symposium has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, November 7th in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30 for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided, and this week the speakers are Allison Vander Wall (Finlayson-Pitts group) talking about her work in understanding SOA particles through the use of molecular probes, and Michael (Kleinman group) talking about his research on interactions between human skin and...

AirUCI postdoc Murat Aydin (Saltzman group) will give a talk on Tuesday, November 5th at 3:30 pm in Croul Hall room 3101 (Jenkins Room).  His talk is entitled "Atmospheric records of carbonyl sulfide, methyl chloride, and acetylene during the Holocene from polar ice cores."  Direct evidence exists for large changes in fire emissions that can drive the observed increases in trace gas levels. These results have broader implications as fires are a source of most atmospheric trace gases and aerosols.

AirUCI Co-Director Barbara Finlayson-Pitts has been invited to give two talks at the University of Pittsburgh for the 33rd Annual Frederick Kaufman Memorial Lecture Series.  The first presentation, entitled "Atmospheric Chemistry in the Anthropocene: SOx, NOx and Rocks"will be held on October 31, 2019 and the second, entitled "Melding of Experiment and Theory as the Bedrock of Understanding Current Atmospheric Chemistry Problems" will be given on November 1, 2019.

The AirUCI Internal Symposium has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, October 24th in Rowland Hall room 390 from 12:30 - 1:30 for grad students, postdocs, and project scientists.  These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about AirUCI-related research and to form collaborations among the AirUCI labs.  Light lunch is provided.  Natalia Karimova (Gerber group) is presenting her theoretical work on N2O5 and their reactions with ions in water, and Deanna Myers (Smith group) is presenting her work on characterizing and developing a Variable Residence Tandem Differential Mobility...
