Satoshi Takahama

Satoshi Takahama is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering (CE) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His research focuses on the measurement, analysis, and modeling of atmospheric aerosols to understand their impacts on air quality and climate. He is affiliated with the Laboratory for Environmental Spectrochemistry and contributes to the Doctoral Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Takahama holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. His professional experience includes roles as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Assistant Project Scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Satoshi Takahama is a researcher in aerosol science and atmospheric chemistry, focusing on the characterization and impacts of aerosol particles. His work spans aerosol health effects, fine particle emissions, and the chemical composition of organic aerosol. He investigates the formation and properties of organic nitrate aerosol, the role of biogenic volatile organic compounds, and the influence of atmospheric processes on aerosol behavior. Takahama also explores the optical and cloud-nucleating properties of aerosol coatings and clusters. His research integrates advanced analytical techniques such as spectroscopy and chemical ionization mass spectrometry. His studies contribute to understanding aerosol impacts on air quality and climate.
