Energy Exchange, Accommodation, and Reaction Dynamics of Atmospheric Gases with Organic Surfaces

化学系的环境化学科学（ECS）项目将支持弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的John Morris教授的研究项目。莫里斯教授的研究项目主要集中在应用分子束来研究具有大气意义的气相分子与有机表面之间的相互作用。这些研究发现将进一步从分子水平上了解常见的大气污染物如何在环境重要有机材料表面发生反应，包括表面活性剂涂层的水滴或气溶胶、烟灰颗粒和聚合物。该项目将为渴望在环境科学前沿工作的学生提供良好的教育机会，包括一些来自代表性不足的群体的学生。

The Environmental Chemical sciences (ECS) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. John Morris of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Prof. Morris' research program focuses on the application of molecular beams to investigate the interactions between gas phase molecules of atmospheric significance and organic surfaces. The research discoveries will further molecular level understanding of how common atmospheric pollutants react on surfaces of environmentally important organic materials, including surfactant-coated water droplets or aerosols, soot particles, and polymers. The project will provide excellent educational opportunities for students, including some from under represented groups, desiring to work at the forefront of environmental science.
