Bio: Dr. Jiajue Chai is an atmospheric chemist, with special interests in tracking sources, atmospheric processes and sinks of reactive nitrogen species, and quantitatively understanding their implications for air quality, climate, and human and ecosystem health. To address these questions, his research brings together a novel set of skills including instrumentation, analytical methods, theory and modeling to investigate atmospheric chemistry in both the laboratory and field. His recent work involves characterization of nitrous acid (HONO), nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2), nitric acid (HNO3) and particulate nitrate in their sources, sinks and atmospheric chemistry in many ways, to constrain their atmospheric budgets and the atmospheric oxidative capacity. Ultimately, the research findings will help predict and mitigate the air quality and climate change. Over the years, Dr. Chai has built extensive collaborations with scientists across the US including those from NASA, NOAA and USDA, as well as numerous institutions. Jiajue's current research work is supported by 4 ongoing NSF grants.
About SUNY ESF: ESF is one of nine Ph.D. granting institutions within the SUNY system, and consistently earns high rankings in US News and World Report, Forbes, Princeton Review, and other national college guidebooks. SUNY ESF is dedicated to solving environmental problems through research, teaching and service. With a total enrollment of 1,700 undergraduates and 600 graduate students, SUNY ESF provides an intimate small-college atmosphere with a low student/faculty ratio that allows for personal attention and assistance for students. Access to chemical instrumentation (http://www.esf.edu/ats/) on the campus is excellent. The ESF campus is adjacent to Syracuse University and close to SUNY Upstate Medical University. The Syracuse Veterans Administration Hospital, Upstate Medical University Hospital, Crouse Hospital and Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital are within walking distance from ESF and offer extensive research and collaborative opportunities for health-related projects. The University Hill community provides students and faculty with the resources of large institutions of higher education, including a wide array of courses, computer and library facilities, and sports and health services.
About Syracuse: Located on the eastern edge of the Finger Lakes region, Syracuse is a small city in a rural region offering a diversity of natural and cultural amenities, a low cost of living, and a high quality of life, ranking among the top 10 percent of "Best Places to Live" in "The Places Rated Almanac." Syracuse is situated with easy access to New York City, Boston, the Adirondack Park, the Great Lakes, and many other points of interest in the eastern United States and Canada.
