Daniel Cohan

Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering

Photochemical modeling; atmospheric sensitivity analysis; pollutant impacts on human health and vegetation; environmental policy and management


Dr. Daniel Cohan specializes in the application of photochemical models to air quality management. With funding from the Fall-line Air Quality Study, Dr. Cohan implemented a high-order sensitivity analysis method into a photochemical model and developed techniques for its application to control strategy optimization. Before joining Rice, Dr. Cohan helped to craft state policies for mercury and air quality attainment at the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. He received a B.A. in applied mathematics from Harvard University, a Ph.D. in atmospheric chemistry from Georgia Tech, and served as a Fulbright Scholar to Australia at the Cooperative Research Centre for Southern Hemisphere Meteorology.
