Andrey Khlystov's main research interests are in the areas of the effect of ambient aerosol on global climate and how the aerosol hygroscopic growth affects the magnitude of the climate forcing; relationship between the particulate mater and the adverse health effects; and development of new automatic measurements techniques to study properties and transformations of ambient aerosol. His strong experimental background includes the management of a monitoring site in Amsterdam within an epidemiological study and management of the EPA and DOE sponsored super-site project in Pittsburgh. He has also developed a number of novel techniques for automatic measurements of aerosol chemical composition. The results of Dr. Khlystov’s research have been reported in international journals, conferences and workshops.
