Charles O. Stanier serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the University of Iowa's College of Engineering, a position held since 2004. His research bridges atmospheric science, environmental engineering, and public health with significant contributions to aerosol chemistry and climate modeling.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (2003)
- MS in Environmental Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (1998)
- BSE in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University (1994)
Stanier's research spans Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosol Science, and Climate Change, with emphasis on ultrafine particle formation, organic aerosol chemistry, and health impacts of air pollution. His work integrates computer simulation of atmospheric processes with field measurements from major studies like the Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) and KORUS-AQ campaign. Recent projects examine siloxane oxidation pathways, wildfire smoke transport, and decarbonization strategies for building systems.
His 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveal three dominant themes: (1) molecular-scale aerosol chemistry (particularly cyclic siloxanes from personal care products), (2) machine learning applications for air quality prediction, and (3) climate resilience in transportation and urban systems. The interdisciplinary nature of his work connects atmospheric science with engineering education and public health policy.
Stanier maintains active leadership through the Stanier Lab and professional memberships in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR). His educational initiatives include developing data science curricula and metacognitive training for teaching assistants in engineering programs.
