Metcalf\, Ph.D.\nNSF-AGS Postdoctoral Fellow\nDepart ment of Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Minnesota\n\n\nAtmospheric a erosols are an important contributor to Earth’s climate\, and yet remain the largest source of uncertainty in modeling of future climate change. T his uncertainty arises due to the intricate nature of aerosol particles — specifically how multiple phases within an aerosol particle interact w ith each other. Many factors play a role in determining a particle’s int ernal structure\, resulting in many possible particle configurations. For example\, the aqueous and organic phases in a single aerosol particle may align in side-by-side nodule morphology\, or the organic phase may form a film that completely surrounds the aqueous phase. In order to fully predic t a particle’s internal structure at a given temperature\, relative humi dity\, and chemical composition\, fundamental studies of interfaces observ ed in atmospheric aerosol particles are essential.\nIn this seminar\, I wi ll discuss our recent developments to harness droplet microfluidics to pro be the fundamental properties of aerosol particle interfaces. By using thi s microscale platform\, important rheological\, thermodynamic\, and kineti c properties of atmospheric aerosol mimics can be explored\, yielding insi ght into multiphase aerosol particle dynamics. Specifically\, I will highl ight recent results from our lab in which we studied the time-dependent in terfacial tension of a reacting methylglyoxal—aqueous ammonium sulfate m ixture\, its evolution with time\, and the relevance of these results to t he atmosphere.\n\n\n\n\nIf you are unable to join us for the seminar in pe rson\, we will be broadcasting the presentations live during the seminar u sing GoToMeeting software.
