Biography:

Dr. Qian Tan received a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Chemistry (2004) from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, and a BS in Atmospheric Dynamics (1996) from the Nanjing University of Nanjing, China. In graduate school, she used a coupled regional climate-chemistry model to study the budget and fate of anthropogenic pollutants in East Asia. She worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science at MIT where she expanded her work to global scale and focused on an important greenhouse gas, methane. In 2007 she joined the Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, as a member of the research faculty. Her main research interest is to combine her experience in both global and regional scale modeling and study the impacts of long-range transport on fate of pollutants and regional air quality.
