Robert GriffinAssociate Professor of Civil and Environmental EngineeringAerosol thermodynamics and chemistry, Air pollution transport, Atmospheric chemistry, Regional air quality modeling, Urban air quality Robert Griffin received his B.S. summa cum laude in chemical engineering from Tufts University in 1993. For the two years prior to attending graduate school, Dr. Griffin was a Research Associate with Arthur D. Little, Inc., a management and technology consulting firm. He received an M.S. in 1997 and a Ph.D. in 2000 (both in chemical engineering) from the California Institute of Technology. Before arriving at Rice, Dr. Griffin was an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University and an assistant/associate professor in the Climate Change Research Center/Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Griffin's research interests lie primarily in understanding the effects and behavior of organic species in the troposphere. Work includes laboratory, field, and computational studies designed to understand how air quality can be improved on regional, national, and global scales. These projects have been supported by NSF, EPA, NOAA, HARC, EPRI, and the Coordinating Research Council. Dr. Griffin's previous work has been published in journals that include Science, Environmental Science and Technology, The Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres, Geophysical Research Letters, Atmospheric Environment, and The Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry. Dr. Griffin's teaching interests are focused on undergraduate courses in introductory atmospheric science, chemistry, and air pollution control and on graduate courses in atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric aerosol physics, and atmospheric modeling. He is a member of the American Association of Aerosol Research, the American Chemical Society, and the American Geophysical Union. |
