Past Events

AirUCI faculty Andrea De Vizcaya-Ruiz will present a virtual seminar on April 5th entitled "Every breath we take — is the next generation's health at risk?"  Andrea will describe how exposure to ambient air pollution, predominantly airborne particulate matter (PM), has been linked with diseases of the lung, heart, and more.  Populations in urban centers with elevated emissions are at greater health risk, as they are subjected to continuous and long-term exposure.  Details and RSVP

On March 16th AirUCI will host a seminar presented by Dr. Paulus Bauer, who recently joined us as a postdoctoral researcher in the Smith group.  His talk is entitled "Physical characterization of number, size and shape of aerosol nanoparticles: from Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) to Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)" and will be held from noon to 1 pm in Rowland Hall room 390.

AirUCI's AAAR student chapter will be hosting an Alumni Q&A Panel on Thursday, March 3rd from 10:30 - noon.  This should be a lively discussion featuring AirUCI's very own Drs. Sabrina Chee, Amy Christiansen, and Wing-Sy DeRieux! They will discuss their respective post-PhD career experiences, and will be happy to take questions. This is a  virtual meeting: https://uci.zoom.us/j/93277181057 and for additional details contact aaarsc@uci.edu. 

On February 14, as part of AirUCI's DOJ research project, the Blake lab hosted workers from Kingston, a company in Santa Ana where the indoor air quality has been in question.  They were shown how the researchers collect, measure, and analyze the composition of air — from gases to microscopic particles.

AirUCI faculty Alex Guenther will present an Earth System Science lecture on February 9 at 3:30 pm.  The talk is entitled "Landscape heterogeneity and reactive biogenic volatiles: from the Amazon to urban U.S." and is a virtual event.  Virtual Meeting Room | MID 921 3981 2842

AirUCI Fulbright Fellow Patrick Ayotte (Universite de Sherbrooke, Quebec) will present a Physical Chemistry lecture on Tuesday, February 1st at 3:30 pm.  This will be a hybrid event on Livestream and based in ISEB room 1010 (masks required).  His talk is entitled "Shining light, and beams of molecules, to look at (Photo)chemistry on ice."  Details         Livestream Link
