Miriam Arak Freedman

Miriam Arak Freedman is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Institute of Energy and the Environment (IEE). Her research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, aerosol science, and environmental chemical processes, particularly phase transitions and ice nucleation in submicron particles.

• Key Research Areas:
• Atmospheric Chemistry
• Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
• Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation
• Hygroscopicity of Organic/Inorganic Aerosols

Her recent projects include studies on the role of porous organic polymers in immersion freezing and droplet growth under supersaturated conditions. She has secured multiple grants from the National Science Foundation and Basic Energy Sciences for her work.

Her research contributes to understanding aerosol behavior in climate systems, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and environmental science.
