Nicole's Image Featured at Michigan Center for Materials Characterization!

Nicole submitted one of her electron microscopy images to an imaging competition held by the Michigan Center for Materials Characterization, the electron microscopy user facility on campus. The image shows secondary organic aerosol (SOA) created in the Surratt Lab at UNC during our summer 2018 field study. The image was chosen as one to be displayed in the Michigan Center for Materials Characterization lobby! Stay tuned for more exciting images from the upcoming summer 2019 field study!

Images chosen for display in the Michigan Center for Materials Characterization lobby.

The image Nicole submitted to the competition. This image, collected using scanning electron microscopy, shows a-pinene SOA created in the Surratt Lab during the summer 2018 IEPOXalypse study. 

 

Nancy Becomes a PhD Candidate!

Nancy successfully passed her preliminary exam after she joined Ault's lab for a year! Her study is focusing on single particle physical and chemical characterization of atmospheric aerosol. In the past year, she used Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), AFM-IR, and Raman micro-spectroscopy to study laboratory-generated aerosol particles and ambient particles. Congrats!

Prof. Ault Selected to Analytical Scientist's "Top 40 Under 40" Power List

Each year the Analytical Scientist selects 40 scientists internationally for their "Power List", in 2018 focusing on scientists under the age of 40 making waves in analytical science.

The Power List 2018: Fab 40

"The Top 40 Under 40 Power List returns to celebrate the gifted young scientists making waves in analytical science. Here we present the rising stars of the field (in alphabetical order), as nominated by our readers and shortlisted by our independent judging panel."

Prof. Ault was chosen for his contribution to analytical measurements of atmospheric aerosols using spectroscopy. One of the comments of his nominators was "Andrew has quickly established himself as a leader in developing and applying spectroscopic methods to study atmospheric aerosols – critical for addressing global health and climate change."
