Research:

Shan’s research specialty lies in atmospheric/air chemistry and has published extensively on topics of aerosol (particulate matter) composition, secondary organic aerosols, indoor air chemistry, and air quality disparities. Shan aims to improve understanding of the chemical composition of the air we breathe, both indoors and outdoors, how it is influenced by human activities and natural processes, and its health effects.  

- Indoor air chemistry

- Atmospheric aerosol chemistry

- Indoor and outdoor atmospheric pollution and health impacts

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Dr. Shan Zhou joined Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, China in the spring of 2024. Shan obtained her PhD in Atmospheric Science from the University of California, Davis and pursued her postdoctoral research at the Department of Chemistry in Syracuse University. Following her position as a research scientist at Rice University, Shan was a research assistant professor at the University of Houston. Shan’s research interests lie in the general field of air pollution and atmospheric chemistry. Motivated by the changing composition of the atmospheres both indoors and out, Shan’s research focuses on both laboratory experiments and targeted field measurements to investigate the atmospheric chemical processes that occur in both the ambient and indoor air, with special attention given to the chemistry of aerosols and oxidants. Shan has published over 30 papers in top journals in environmental and atmospheric sciences (10 first/corresponding author papers), with a total citation count of over 2000 and h-index of 21. Shan was selected as US MIT/CMU Civil and Environmental Engineering Rising Star in 2020.
