Post Doctoral Researcher Maksim Islam

My current research explores aerosol Physico-chemical properties, micro-meteorology, and their influence on atmospheric new particle formations (NPF). I am interested in assessing the feasibility of using aerosol size- and hygroscopicity-resolved turbulent flux measurements and remote sensing techniques to infer the sources/mechanisms of NPF. My research also spans residential biomass burning emissions, quantifying optical properties and radiative forcing impacts of emitted particles, and indoor air pollution assessment and modeling
