Research Group of Matthew Fraser & Pierre Herckes
Welcome to the Aerosol and Atmospheric Chemistry website of the research group of Matthew Fraser and Pierre Herckes @ ASU.
Matthew Fraser is a professor and the associate director in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Build Environment at Arizona State University.
Pierre Herckes is a professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University.
Our combined research activities encompass a variety of topics in environmental engineering and chemistry. We mainly work on aerosols and atmospheric chemistry, on topics such as ozone formation, dust entertainment, and the climate effects of aerosols and clouds. A significant effort of our research is in environmental analytics, developing and improving tools and protocols to monitor atmospheric and and other environmental pollutants.
Our work is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, combining chemistry, environmental and atmospheric science, biology and environmental engineering- often applied to local air and water pollution issues.
