New Environmental/Analytical Chemistry Faculty

The Department is pleased to announce that two assistant professors with expertise in environmental and analytical chemistry joined the Department in Fall 2011.

Brian Majestic studies atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and is interested in understanding transformations of transition metals in atmospheric systems. He previously held a faculty position at Northern Arizona University.

Alex completed a postdoctoral research associate position at the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry in Mainz, Germany and joined the Department on Dec. 1^st, 2011.  His research interests are in the development and application of instrumental techniques for real-time characterization of biogenic aerosols.

The expertise of Professor Majestic, Professor Huffman, along with that of Professor Keith Miller, will permit the Department to offer every year a 3-quarter sequence in Environmental Chemistry starting in Fall 2012.
