Jacyra Soares
Degree in Meteorology from University of São Paulo (1983), Master in Oceanography (Physical Oceanography) from University of São Paulo (1989) and PhD from University of Southampton, England (1994). In 1995 held postdoctoral activities in the Oceanographic Institute at USP. Experience in Physical Oceanography and Meteorology, with emphasis on numerical modelling and in situ observations of air-sea interaction (oceanic and atmospheric turbulence) and micrometeorology (Planetary boundary layer, turbulence, radiation and energy balances, turbulent fluxes). Study of the atmosphere and ocean in Equatorial and Antarctic regions.
Ryan Christopher Sullivan
Associate Professor of Chemistry, and Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, with a courtesy appointment in Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is also a faculty member in the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies. Hon.B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Toronto, Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, San Diego. Before moving to Carnegie Mellon University in 2012 he completed his postdoctoral research in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. Recipient of a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation, and the National Academy of Science’s Cozzarelli Prize.
Developing laser-based analytical techniques for real-time analysis of individual aerosol particle composition. These include laser ablation single-particle mass spectrometry, aerosol optical tweezers, and microfluidic devices for ice nucleation research. The multi-phase chemical evolution of biomass burning aerosol from wood smoke is a major current focus. Experimental studies include the alteration of the ice nucleation properties of smoke particles induced by chemical aging; and the activation of photo-labile chlorinated gases from heterogeneous reactions of nitrogen oxides with smoke aerosol. Recently active in evaluating the kinetics and biosafety of catalysts for sustainable ultra-dilute oxidation catalysis.
Jason D Surratt
Dr. Jason Surratt is a Professor with tenure at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering located within the Gillings School of Global Public Health, as well as in the Department of Chemistry. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Caltech, and his B.A. and B.S. degrees in chemistry and meteorology, respectively, from North Carolina State University. His current research utilizes advanced mass spectrometry techniques with synthetic organic chemistry to understand as deeply as possible the atmospheric chemistry that occurs in both the gas and condensed phases, with special focus on the chemistry leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). His research has helped to derive model parameterizations that more explicitly predict atmospheric levels of isoprene-derived SOA, and has revealed the importance of acid-catalyzed multiphase chemistry in SOA formation.
He is the 2016 recipient of the James J. Morgan Environmental Science & Technology Early Career Award Lectureship, the 2013 recipient of the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) Sheldon K. Friedlander Award, and the 2012 recipient of the Health Effects Institute (HEI) Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award. Dr. Surratt has authored and co-authored more than 110 peer-reviewed articles in aerosol science, atmospheric chemistry, and air pollution journals.
Fredolin Tangang
Professor of Climatology and Oceanography in the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, National University of Malaysia. Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia. Past IPCC WG1 Vice-Chair (AR5 cycle, 2008-2015). Obtained his PhD from University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
