Biography and Expertise

Present Research Interests:

  • Laboratory investigation and field sampling of air pollution, particularly of aerosol particles
  • Computation simulations to elucidate questions of atmospheric, aerosol chemistry, and the health effects of airborne contaminants

Special Fields of Knowledge:

  • atmospheric carbon dioxide
  • ultrafine atmospheric particles
  • atmospheric chemistry
  • aerosol health effects
  • organic aerosol chemistry

The Stanier research group is interested in both aerosol and gas-phase problems in air pollution, atmospheric science, and energy.

The Stanier Research Group has wide-ranging interests in atmospheric science, climate science, energy, and air pollution.

Our main current projects focus on (1) health effects of atmospheric pollution, focusing on ultrafine particulate matter; (2) modeling of CO2, CO, and other carbon and nitrogen species in the environment; and (3) chemistry and physics of ultrafine, nanosized, and nucleated atmospheric particles.

Our research includes atmospheric science problems motivated by both climate change and by human health.
