Regular biography
Hamish Gordon is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on the effects of air pollution and natural airborne particles on clouds and climate. Gordon's work involves developing weather prediction and climate models to better represent airborne particulate matter and its impact on clouds. He simulates specific regions at high resolution to study atmospheric processes and compares these simulations with detailed observations. Gordon has also participated in laboratory experiments and field studies, including an aircraft study of smoke mixing into clouds over the south Atlantic Ocean. He continues to be involved in the CLOUD experiment at CERN, where he worked from 2013 to 2016.
Scholar-generated biography
Hamish Gordon is a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University specializing in atmospheric aerosols and clouds. His work focuses on understanding the role of low-volatility organic compounds in atmospheric particle growth and ion-induced nucleation of biogenic particles. Gordon's research also includes global atmospheric particle formation, as evidenced by his studies involving CERN CLOUD measurements. His publications explore various aspects of particle physics, including the observation of resonant states, J/ψ production, and violations in decay processes. His contributions span both atmospheric science and high-energy physics, with an emphasis on experimental measurements and theoretical analysis.
