Welcome

Welcome to the Aerosol Photochemistry Group. We are located on the beautiful campus of the University of California, Irvine in the Department of Chemistry. We investigate chemical composition, photochemistry, and physical properties of organic aerosols using aerosol chamber techniques, cavity ring-down spectroscopy, chemical ionization mass spectrometry, ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry, chromatography, tandem differential mobility techniques, and other state-of-the-art techniques. Please refer to our research section for more details.

Graduate & Postdoctoral Research: Interested in joining our group as a physical, analytical, atmospheric, or ChaMP graduate student? Please review this information and if you have further questions contact the Aerosol Photochemistry Group principal investigator, Prof. Nizkorodov. The group currently has five PhD students: Sandra Blair, Amanda MacMillan, Hanna Lignell, Tran Nguyen, Dian Romonosky, one MS student, Katelyn Updyke, and a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Scott Epstein. Please refer to the publication section for examples of recent papers by the group members. The group's graduate students have been recognized by multiple awards and fellowships from the department and from the outside sources. Former group members have been successful in securing employment in policy, education, industrial research and academic research sectors.

Undergraduate Research: Undergraduate students are welcome to do their undergraduate research projects in Aerosol Photochemistry Group on a space available basis. However, the space is limited. If you are interested in such an opportunity please review the requirements and then contact Prof. Nizkorodov in advance. The usual mechanism is enrollment in either Chem 180, H180, or 199. The following students are currently working in the lab: Van Tran and Chad Eyerly.
