Bryan Bzdek

Dr Bryan Bzdek is a Proleptic Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on aerosol microphysics, surfactant dynamics, and respiratory aerosol generation mechanisms. He investigates the physical and chemical properties of aerosols in environmental, biomedical, and industrial contexts.

Key research areas include:

• Surfactant behavior in microscopic droplets
• Aerosol generation during medical procedures and vocal activities
• Surface tension dynamics in finite-volume droplets
• Filtration efficiency of protective equipment

His work combines experimental techniques like aerosol optical tweezers with computational modeling. Recent studies address aerosol risks in healthcare environments and musical instrument use, contributing to public health and safety guidelines.

Collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams from chemistry, medicine, and engineering. He has published extensively on aerosol physics, surfactant chemistry, and environmental applications.
