Lena Gerritz joined UCI after graduating from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill in 2021. She is working on chemistry of reactive oxygen species in biomass burning aerosol as a joint member of the Nizkorodov group and the Shiraiwa group. In her free time, Lena likes to explore the outdoors hiking, running, and skiing and is always up for a game of pick up soccer. |

Anthony Jue completed his B.S. and M.S. studies in Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego in 2023. Anthony is working on photochemical aging of organic aerosols, with a focus on photochemistry at interfaces between different phases in particles. |

Lucia Liu joined the group in the Fall of 2021 as an undergraduate student. After getting her BS in Chemistry, with a minor in Psychology from UCI. She stayed in the group as a researcher and started her graduate training in the fall of 2022, under the joint advising by Prof. Celia Faiola and Prof. Sergey Nizkorodov. She loves cats, mass spectrometers, smog chambers, and science! |

Luis Ruiz Armenta is a 2022 Chemistry graduate of California State University Long Beach. He wants to help improve our environment by doing atmospheric chemistry research, and he could not have picked a better place for it! His PhD is on (photo)chemistry of smoke from burning of typical construction materials, which tends to dominate air pollution during fires at the wildland-urban interface. |

Matt Zaragoza graduated with a B.S. degree in Chemistry in 2023 from University of Virginia, where he studied microplastic concentrations in remote streams. Matt is jointly advised by Prof. Annmarie Carlton and Prof. Sergey Nizkorodov, working on chemical interactions of biomass burning aerosol with cloud and fog water droplets. Matt is enjoying exercising, which is handy as we have a lot of heavy objects in the lab. |
