Dr. Yue Zhang

Yue Zhang, PhD, a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow in environmental sciences and engineering at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, has received a competitive travel award from the journal Atmospheres. The award, in the amount of 800 Swiss francs ($836 USD), may be used to travel to an international conference of the winner’s choice.

Zhang, who earned a doctorate at Harvard University, has studied ways to measure the in-situ viscosity of submicron particles. He also participated in a field campaign in the Amazon rainforest and worked with collaborators to student the physicochemical properties of organic aerosols. His findings have been published in leading journals including Nature Geoscience and Chemical Sciences.

His current work, with Jason Surratt, PhD, associate professor of environmental sciences and engineering at the Gillings School, has been in collaboration with MIT, Aerodyne Research, Boston College, Stony Brook University and the University of California at Berkeley. Zhang was selected for his outstanding research on the ways phase state and multiphase chemistry jointly impact formation processes and climate effects of organic aerosols.
