Dr Stephen Klippenstein joins the Associate Editor team

Welcome to Environmental Science: Atmospheres!

We are delighted to welcome Dr Stephen Klippenstein, USA, as a new Associate Editor for Environmental Science: Atmospheres.

Stephen J. Klippenstein received his Ph. D. in chemistry from California Institute of Technology in 1988. After one year of postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado, Boulder, he was on the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University from 1989 to 2000, and was a member of the professional research staff of the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories from 2000 to 2005. His research interests focus on developing theoretical methods for predicting the kinetics and dynamics of gas phase reactions and applying them to interesting problems in combustion, interstellar, and atmospheric chemistry.

Professor Tzung-May Fu joins the Associate Editor team

Welcome to Environmental Science: Atmospheres!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Tzung-May Fu, Southern University of Science & Technology, China, as a new Associate Editor for Environmental Science: Atmospheres.

“Environmental Science: Atmospheres will be an excellent knowledge hub for all the interdisciplinary research on the atmosphere. I am honoured and excited for the chance to help shape its scope.”

Professor Fu received her PhD in atmospheric chemistry from Harvard University in 2007, and is currently a professor at the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology, China. Her research interests involve the sources, evolution, and impacts of atmospheric organics, and how they might interact with climate change. Recent research topics include inverse modelling of the emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds and organic aerosols using satellite and ground-based measurements, sources of PM2.5 and ozone pollution in China, formation pathways of secondary organic aerosols, air quality in future climate, cloud-aerosol interactions, and development of chemistry-meteorology models.
