Emily Barnes Franklin, PhD
Incoming Assistant Professor,
UW Madison
I am an incoming Assistant Professor in Environmental Engineering at UW Madison. My research focuses on understanding the interactions of human and biogenic reactive species in the atmosphere, constraining the sensitivity of air pollution formation to multiple classes of climate stressors, and working with communities to develop scalable solutions to air quality hazards.
Research Focus
My active research projects include the following:
-
Investigating emerging sources of air pollution in the modern megacity across Northern and Southern Hemispheres (FROG-NY, ASPY-AQ)
-
Designing and evaluating scalable solutions to smoke haze exposure for children in schools (HEAL-HAZE)
-
Developing machine learning-based methods for characterizing unidentifiable organic compounds in the atmosphere (Ch3MS-RF)
-
Investigating the relationship between marine microbiology and VOC emissions at the Antarctic ice edge (MISO)
-
Tracking long-term changes in oxidant and reactive dynamics in the pristine Southern Hemisphere (Kennaook-Cape Grim)
