Faculty Overview
Dr. Metcalf’s teaching and research interests are in the area of air pollution and air quality, with a particular focus on atmospheric aerosol particles. Dr. Metcalf’s lab, the Multiscale Atmospheric Measurements Laboratory, approaches air pollution measurements from many scales - from microscale measurements performed on a microscope in the laboratory to in situ measurements conducted during large-scale field projects. Current work is underway to bridge these measurement scales by developing methods to collect atmospheric aerosol particles in the field and bring them to microfluidic experiments in the lab while preserving the contents of the atmospheric samples.
