ADVANCED CARBONACEOUS AEROSOL SPECIATION: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND APPLICATIONS

This workshop will present the latest frontiers in Carbonaceous Aerosol speciation, optical properties of primary and secondary aerosols and source apportionment, and leading-edge developments of Aerosol Magee Scientific R&D group together with foreign collaborators.

This workshop will present valuable information for anyone in the research and monitoring communities interested in carbonaceous aerosols: source apportionment, optical properties, online and offline instrumentation, spectrometry, Brown Carbon characterization, etc.

Confirmed talks will be given by the following scientists:

• Prof. Ralf Zimmermann, Ph.D., Univeristy of Rostock and Helmholtz Zentrum Munich, GERMANY
• Prof. Luca Ferrero, Ph.D., University of Milano-Bicocca, Milano, ITALY
• Doc. Aki Virkkula, Ph.D., Finnish Meteorological Institute and University of Helsinki, Helsinki, FINLAND
• Martin Rigler, Ph.D., Aerosol Magee Scientific, Ljubljana, SLOVENIA

Program:

3:00 pm – 3:10 pm
