Lung-Wen A. Chen (Ph.D. ’02, Chemical Physics) Has a Passion for Using Science to Change the World
Born in Taiwan, Lung-Wen Chen moved to the United States to complete his Ph.D. in chemical physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he measured airborne particulate pollutants over the East Coast. Since then he has influenced the U.S. EPA to update its measurement methods in all national parks. He also works closely with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop air quality policies in Xi’an, and is collaborating with researchers in Germany to develop a new analytical method for carbonaceous aerosols.
