About

Dr. Huisheng Bian worked in Chinese Meteorological Academy as an assistant researcher, where her research interest was regional air quality modeling. Her Ph.D. work focused on improving, validating, and applying UCI global chemistry transport model for tropospheric ozone simulation, as well as on developing a module (Fast-J2) to accurately simulate stratospheric photolysis in global chemistry models. Upon graduation, Dr. Bian became interested in atmospheric aerosols, their distribution and their photolytic and heterogeneous impacts on tropospheric chemistry.

Research interests

Her current major research interest involves improving atmospheric aerosol simulation by including nitrate aerosol and secondary organic aerosol and by investigating aerosol micro-physics for aerosol-cloud interaction.
