معرفی
Hamish Gordon is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He holds affiliations with the Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation and has been at CMU since 2019, following postdoctoral work at the University of Leeds. His research focuses on aerosol-cloud interactions, climate modeling, and air pollution impacts, leveraging advanced computational tools like the UK Met Office Unified Model.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Physics, University of Oxford (2013)
- M.S. in Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge (2010)
- B.A. in Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge (2009)
Research Interests: Dr. Gordon investigates how atmospheric particles influence weather and climate through interactions with clouds. Key areas include aerosol formation mechanisms (e.g., sulfuric acid and organic compounds), the role of anthropogenic and natural sources in climate feedbacks, and fog/visibility modeling. His work integrates laboratory experiments (e.g., CERN CLOUD project) with field campaigns (e.g., South Atlantic smoke studies).
Publications & Grants: Recent studies address aerosol impacts on tropical cyclones, biomass burning radiative effects, and Delhi fog forecasting. He has secured NSF CAREER awards and DOE funding, collaborating with institutions like NASA and the National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (India).
Awards:
- NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award (2023)
Lab Team & Outreach: The Gordon Group includes postdocs and Ph.D. students working on aerosol modeling, climate dynamics, and AI integration. Outreach efforts focus on STEM education and community engagement, including mentoring programs and public speaking on environmental issues.
