Scientific Background
Dr. Zhang specializes in numerical modeling and theoretical study of atmospheric chemistry/air quality. Her research interests include air pollution modeling and assessment, atmospheric chemistry and transport, chemistry and dynamics of atmospheric aerosols, sensitivity, uncertainty, and process analysis, and interactions among atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and climate change. She has led or contributed to the development, improvement, application, and evaluation of several major three-dimensional models on urban, regional, and global scales including STEM III, GChM, MIRAGE, SCICHEM, CMAQ, CMAQ-MADRID, CAMx, MM5, and WRF/Chem. She has utilized these models for studies on the long range transport of mineral dust and its interactions with tropospheric chemistry in East Asia; the formation and fate of tropospheric ozone and particulate matter in the U.S. and trans-Pacific region; power plant plume chemistry and its impact on visibility in the U.S.; the effects of planetary boundary layer schemes, land-surface schemes, and cloud microphysics treatments on transport, transformation, and dry and wet deposition of air pollutants; global aerosol direct and indirect radiative forcing, feedbacks among chemistry, aerosol, cloud, radiation, and climate on regional and global scales. She led several comprehensive reviews of major modules for aerosol dynamics and thermodynamics as well as reviews focusing on sensitivity, process analysis, and mass balance analysis tools for air quality models. She has incorporated a state of the science aerosol module and multi-phase chemistry module into EPA’s Models-3/Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System (referred to as CMAQ-MADRID), and NOAA’s Weather Research and Forecasting/Chemistry Prediction System (referred to as WRF/Chem-MADRID). On urban and regional scales, she is applying several air quality models to conduct high resolution simulations of urban and regional ozone and PM in the U.S. and China, and developing an integrated air quality, meteorology, and climate model for research-grade and real-time air quality forecasting applications. On a global scale, she is evaluating the impact of aerosol size representations and microphysical treatments on modeling of cloud-aerosol interactions and aerosol direct and indirect radiative forcing and developing a global-through-urban climate-chemistry-aerosol-cloud-radiation model for applications from global to freeway scales. Dr. Zhang is a recipient of the National Science Foundation Career Award, 2004. She has authored or co-authored 33 peer-reviewed journal publications (30 published/in press, 3 in review/preparation), 33 peer-reviewed conference papers and technical reports, 62 non-refereed journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports, and 143 conference presentations/invited seminars/lectures. She has served as a technical committee member for review panels and conferences/workshops, session chair/co-chair at various conferences including AAAR, A&WMA, ASAAQ, AMS, and the Conference on Air Quality, as well as the co-chair for the 2008 AMS conference on Atmospheric Chemistry. She is a member of A&WMA, AAAR, AGU, AMS, and Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society.
