Research

Goals - Our research activity is principally aimed at developing instrumentation, designing laboratory studies, and participating in field campaigns to understand the role that atmospheric aerosols (man-made as well as natural) have on climate and air quality. In particular, we are interested in applying optical techniques to this field and in determining the aerosol optical properties and their interactions with clouds (the effects that aerosols have on clouds as well as the effects that clouds have on aerosols). See also the ongoing research projects and collaborative efforts link for details.
