Research Interests
Prof. Wang's research focuses on understanding the chemical composition of the atmosphere and their impacts on air quality and climate change. The group uses global and regional models (e.g. GEOS-Chem) with observations (from all scales: ground, drone, aircraft, satellite, etc.) to study the complex interactions between atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, human activities, biological processes, air pollution and climate. Current topics of interest includes:
- Atmospheric halogen chemistry
- Aerosol optical properties and their impacts on climate
- Secondary aerosol formation
- Marine effects on atmospheric chemistry
- Understanding sources and chemistry of atmospheric pollutants in heavily polluted environment
Positions Available
|
There may be openings for graduate students, research assistants and postdoctoral fellows from time to time. Prospective Students interested in studying atmospheric chemistry and earth system modeling are welcomed to contact Prof. Xuan Wang. Atmospheric science is interdisciplinary so there is no specific degree requirement for admission. Postdoc candidates should have a Ph.D degree with experiments on atmospheric modeling and/or interpreting atmospheric composition measurements.
