Biography
Hannah M. Horowitz is an Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and an Affiliate Assistant Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research group predicts the future of pollution and climate by integrating the chemistry of the atmosphere into computer models of varying complexity. Currently, her group is investigating how Arctic sea ice loss impacts sources of particles to the air that can then affect air pollution and climate, and the importance of marine aerosols to aerosol-cloud interactions over the Southeast Atlantic Ocean. Dr. Horowitz is also interested in predicting unintended consequences of climate intervention on air and environmental pollution, and the two-way interactions between air pollution and heat islands in urban environments. Dr. Horowitz is a member of the international GEOS-Chem Steering Committee, an Associate Editor for the journal “Earth’s Future”, and on the Early Career Board for ES&T Air.
