Passig Lab
Aerosol/laser-Mass Spectrometry
Aerosol/Laser-MS research activities include single-particle mass spectrometry of ambient aerosols, laser ionization of complex gas mixtures and particles, and ultrafast laser ablation and ionization in mass spectrometry.
About our Research
Aerosols play an important role in the Earth's climate and cause a significant burden of disease and environmental impact. The physical and chemical complexity of aerosols and their constant changes (e.g., solar radiation, aging) make it difficult to assess their impact. Our research focuses on novel real-time techniques for physical and chemical characterization of ambient aerosols.
