Research
Welcome to Dr. Xiaofei Wang’s research group (SDAL) at Fudan University. Spray aerosol and dust aerosol are the two major sources of atmospheric aerosols. However, their production mechanisms are not fully understood. Their roles in pollutants transport have not been extensively studied. Our group is focused on the following research topics: (1) physical production mechanisms of spray aerosol and dust aerosol; (2) environment and climate impact of spray/dust aerosols; (3) pollutants transport through spray/dust aerosol generation; and (4) aerosol instrument development.
