Area of expertise:
urban/rural air quality focusing on the measurement and modeling of gas- and particle phase trace constituents and pollutants.
The modeling part is largely limited to aspects of source apportionment via receptor modeling techniques. Hence it seems to overlap with area 3-3, air pollution and its impact, where I could gladly help out if need be.
Summary of Professional Experience
Dr. Baumann recently joined ARA after 2 years with RTI’s Center for Aerosol Technology and prior employment with Georgia Tech, where he directed and managed the field and laboratory activities of the Southern Center for the Integrated Study of Secondary Air Pollutants (SCISSAP). His research specialties are methods development, conduct, quality control, evaluation and interpretation of the measurements of atmospheric trace gas- and particle-phase constituents in polluted and rural environs. Technical specialty areas include: measurements for source characterizations; atmospheric dispersion, transport and transformation of pollutants; size-specific, speciated aerosol (PM and reactive gases) sampling; receptor modeling of gas- and particle-phase pollutants in urban environments; ambient PM2.5 sampler evaluations.
