Detailed description:
I maintain, develop, and deploy the FIMS for aircraft-based aerosol measurements. These highly time-resolved aerosol size information could help us understand important aerosol processes, such as particle formation, growth, and transport, and develop mechanisms about the climate influence of atmospheric aerosols. I also work on developing a hygroscopicity FIMS (HFIMS) that can measure aerosol hygroscopic growth with a speed that is one order of magnitude faster than the conventional HTDMA system. These instruments enable the study of aerosols with transient properties, and could greatly facilitate aerosol measurements limited by time resolution.
