	Pavan Racherla Ph.D. Student, Engineering and Public Policy, Mechanical Engineering phone: 412-268-9919 email: pavanracherla@cmu.edu Background: I have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engg, and a graduate degree in Mechanical Engg with specialization in Energy Systems. Research: My research interests include studying the impacts of climate change on global chemistry, smart techniques to model air quality and meteorological episodes, and model development and evaluation. For the global climate and chemistry modeling I am working with a unified model of climate, gas phase chemistry, and bulk aerosols. Related interests include coupling the global model with regional meteorological and chemistry models. The eventual goal is to understand how global climate change impacts regional air quality in the United States. Ph.D., Engineering and Public Policy, Mechanical Engineering, 2007, Prof. Adams

	Emily Weitkamp Ph.D. Student, Mechanical Engineering phone: 412-268-4522 email: eweitkam AT andrew.cmu.edu I'm working on kinetics and mechanisms of atmospheric processing of organic aerosols. Specifically, I am looking at the oxidation rates of aerosols from real sources like meat cooking emissions and diesel exhaust. Any time I am not in lab, you can find me ballroom dancing, running, lifting weights, or dreaming about visiting Turkey again.
	Jieyuan Zhang Ph.D. Student, Chemical Engineering phone: 412-521-3406 email: unlisted My research now focuses on the mechanism of nitrate formation via the peroxy radicals (RO2) + NO reaction, which is very important when evaluate the peroxy radicals influence on ozone production in the atmosphere. I have finished building the model for the nitrate yields by master equation based on statistical mechanics with the Matlab. I'm building the experimental system based on the model results to check if our model is correct and to revise our model.
