Our research lies in three areas:
1. Understanding multiphase reactions in deliquesced aerosol particles,
2. Revealing how aerosols form cloud droplets, and
3. Developing an environmental engineering approach to tackle the environmental issues
We mainly use home-made instrumentation to do our research
This technique allows us to measure particle size and refractive index.
Shortly, QELS measures the surface tension of microdroplets.
It is a simple yet robust technique for measuring multiphase reaction kinetics.
Light-absorbing air pollutants (e.g., brown carbon) are analyzed.
Surface tension of bulk solutions can be measured.

Under development...
We will employ this to measure particle or microdroplet pH.
