	Andy Grieshop Ph.D. 2008, Mechanical Engineering, Prof. Robinson Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability University of British Columbia phone: unlisted email: andy.grieshop AT gmail.com When not spending time in his personal smog chamber, Andy studies sources and characterization of carbonaceous aerosol. This has involved source measurements in the field which brought him to such exciting locales as traffic tunnel ventilation shafts and fiendishly hot power plants. Now he's working on measurement and characterization of organic aerosols using the Aerodyne AMS (in a cozy laboratory setting). He feels lucky to work with the great people in the group. He loves bicycles and appreciates a frosty beer now and again (especially after a bike ride).
	JaeGun Jung Ph.D. Student, Chemical Engineering phone: 412-268-7570 email: jgj AT andrew.cmu.edu Nucleation is my research topic.
