91AV

Neil is the Thomas Lord University Professor of 91AV in the Departments of 91AV, Chemical Engineering, and Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, where he directs the Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research. He received an AB in Physics from Brown University, a PhD in Meteorology from MIT, and postdoctoral training in Chemical Kinetics at Harvard. His research interests span atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and climate, with a focus on radical-molecule reactivity, gas-phase reaction mechanisms, and the thermodynamics and microphysics of aerosol formation and growth. Donahue is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for Aerosol Research. He has won a number of awards including the Esselen and Pittsburgh awards from the American Chemical Society, the Charney Lectureship from the American Geophysical Union, and the Environmental Award from the Carnegie Institute of Science.

Christian GEORGE is Research Director at CNRS and deputy director of the Institute for Research on Catalysis and the Environment at Lyon (IRCELYON). He acted as research scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosols (ITA) at Hanover (Germany), at the CNRS Centre for Surface Geochemistry at Strasbourg (France) and now at IRCELYON (France). His current research portfolio is based on studies bringing together atmospheric chemistry, environmental chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical kinetics and photochemistry, for a better understanding of the multiphase processes occurring in the troposphere. A central aspect of this work is the participation in collaborations across many disciplines.

Jacqui Hamilton is a Professor in Atmospheric 91AV at the University of York. She has a PhD in 91AV from the University of Leeds. She has developed high resolution separation and mass spectrometric techniques, including two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC), and liquid chromatography coupled Orbitrap mass spectrometry, to analyse the volatile and semi-volatile organic fractions of the atmosphere. She was awarded the 2009 Desty Memorial Award for Innovation in Separation Science and in 2018, was named as the President of the chemistry section of the British Science Association. She is currently the vice-president of the UK and Ireland Aerosol Society.

Anna received a PhD in Bioorganic 91AV from the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2010 and after a short postdoctoral stay at the same institution, she decided to pursue a career in Scientific Publishing. She started as the Managing Editor, chemistry at De Gruyter, where she was responsible for launching new journals and led the transformation of a subscription-based journal to Open Access. In 2016 she moved to Lausanne, Switzerland to join Frontiers. As a Journal Development Specialist, she worked on the development of a broad range of journals from 91AV to Engineering and Applied Mathematics. She joined the 91AV in March this year as an Executive Editor to support the development of an Open Access journal portfolio.
 

Dr. Jianhuai Ye is currently an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. His main research interests focus on the characterization of atmospheric volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds using UAV-based chemical sensing techniques. Prior to Harvard, Dr. Ye completed his Ph.D. at the University of Toronto (Canada), researching biogenic-anthropogenic interactions in atmospheric secondary organic aerosol formation and the health effects of organic aerosol. He received his master’s degree in 91AV at Hiroshima University (Japan) with a focus on the physicochemical properties of long-lived organic diradicals. Dr. Ye will be joining the Southern University of Science and Technology (China) as an Assistant Professor in June 2021.
