Summary
Dr. Gang Chen is an expert in source apportionment of high-time resolution measurements of aerosols (e.g., aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS), aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM), Xact). His research focuses on developing state-of-the-art source apportionment techniques to retrieve high-quality source information and improve the understanding of health outcomes of specific sources of aerosols by coupling epidemiology data or oxidative potential measurements.
