Bryan Bzdek receives Kenneth T. Whitby Award

26 November 2024

Dr Bryan Bzdek, Proleptic Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and member of Bristol Aerosol Research Centre, was presented the 2024 Kenneth T. Whitby Award at the 42nd American Association for Aerosol Research Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

First established in 1984, the award recognises outstanding technical contributions to aerosol science and technology by a young scientist. It memorialises Kenneth T. Whitby, who established the University of Minnesota's Particle Technology Laboratory. He was known for his contributions to aerosol measurement, the study of aerosol properties and behaviour, and the nature of atmospheric aerosols.

Bryan's pioneering work within aerosols spans various themes, including the surface composition of microscopic droplets; new particle formation in the atmosphere; and the physicochemical properties of respiratory aerosols.

The conference took place between 21 and 25 October and featured four plenary lectures.
