Research Group Summary

Hannah S. Kenagy is an incoming assistant professor who will lead a group studying atmospheric chemistry. Broadly, the group will think about how emissions into the atmosphere get chemically transformed into gases and particles with climate and air quality impacts.  In particular, we will focus on understanding how decreases in fossil fuel combustion and rising temperatures are changing atmospheric chemical processes.  To answer these questions, the group will use a variety of both measurement and modeling toolsets.  We will make detailed field measurements of atmospheric composition, perform laboratory experiments of atmospheric oxidation processes in an environmental chamber, and use multi-scale modeling tools to connect our detailed chemical understandings to their implications for air quality and climate.
