Nominator's project description

Professor Zhang has made groundbreaking contributions to our fundamental understanding of atmospheric issues that pose major threats to human health. He pioneered and fundamentally advanced the understanding of the role of organics in the nucleation and growth of atmospheric nanoparticles. During his research stay in Germany, he will collaborate to extend interdisciplinary knowledge spanning from atmospheric chemistry and analytical chemistry to aerosol technology and nanoscience.
