Exploration Workshop: Recent Advances in Characterization of Aerosols
Abstract
The objective is to convene the scientific workshop ÒExploration Workshop: Recent Advances in Characterization of Aerosols,Ó where a cadre of prominent scientists and advanced students would be engaged in reviewing the current measurement and characterization techniques for aerosol systems and determining what research directions are most likely to advance its capabilities. The topics will include detection and characterization of carbonaceous and bio aerosols, non-spherical aerosol optics, and subnanometer particle measurement techniques. Subsequent discussions will then explore the future research directions and the possibility of integrating cross-disciplinary measurement techniques for better characterization of aerosol systems. The researchers will organize a two-day workshop at Washington University in St. Louis on July 14 and 15 of 2015. Roughly one third of the attendees will be invited to present review talks; they will be experts in the fields of aerosol physics and chemistry and selected from both academia and government. It is anticipated that specific focused research themes that should be pursued will emerge based on the results presented and the ensuing discussions. The outcome of the workshop will be disseminated through: (i) a workshop website containing details of the meeting including the talk abstracts; (ii) a Youtube playlist containing all the recorded videos of the presentations; and (iii) a written summary and powerpoint presentation of the workshop findings submitted to the cognizant program manager for formulating a potential MURI topic.
