About
Jesse Kroll is the Peter de Florez Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research involves the experimental study of the properties and chemical transformations of organic species in the Earth’s atmosphere. Atmospheric organics play a central role in environmental science by affecting air quality through the formation of secondary pollutants such as ozone, constituting a significant portion of particulate matter with implications for human health and climate, and exchanging with other environmental domains like oceans and soils, thereby influencing biogeochemical cycles and pollutant distribution. His group develops new analytical tools for measuring and characterizing organics in both gas and condensed phases and applies these tools in laboratory and field studies to better understand the sources, evolution, and chemical behavior of atmospheric organics.
