We study the science of air quality under a changing climate, and their impact on public health and environmental justice.

Dr. Huang receives Stony Brook University OVPR seed grant

by on .

We are selected as an awardee of 2024 Stony Brook University OVPR Seed Grant. This is absolutely a team work with my colleague, Dr. John Mak,  Co-I of this project. With this grant, we will acquire a formaldehyde (HCHO) analyzer. This instrument will be installed on our Stony Brook University Mobile Lab for Air Quality and Health. We will integrate spaceborne, airborne and landborne instruments to monitor air pollution and its health effect in New York and beyond. We are grateful for this support from SBU OVPR.

Dr. Huang will work as a faculty mentor for 2024 NASA Student Airborne Research Program (SARP)

by on .

The Student Airborne Research Program (SARP) is an eight-week summer internship program for rising-senior undergraduates. With access to one or more NASA Airborne Science Program flying science laboratories, students acquire hands-on research experience in all aspects of a scientific campaign.

Participants will be awarded a stipend as well as funding to cover their travel. Housing and transportation will also be provided during the eight-week program.

The NASA Airborne Science Program maintains a fleet of aircraft used for studying Earth system processes, calibration/validation of space-borne observations, and prototyping instruments for possible satellite missions. SARP participants assist in the operation of instruments onboard one of these aircraft to sample atmospheric gases and/or to image land and water surfaces in multiple spectral bands.

Research areas include atmospheric chemistry, air quality, forest ecology, and ocean biology. Along with airborne data collection, students will participate in taking measurements at field sites. The program culminates with students presenting results of their research conclusions.

Dr. Huang joins Stony Brook

by on .

Jaunary 2024, Dr. Guanyu Huang will work as an Assistant Professor at the Program in Public Health (PPH) and School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS), Stony Brook University.

Dr. Huang enjoys working with students, especially students from underrepresented groups. Before joining Stony Brook, Dr. Huang was proud to work as an assistant professor at the Environmental and Health Sciences Department, Spelman College, Atlanta GA. Spelman College is the No.1 HBCU and a historically black college for women of African descent. 

Dr. Huang is hiring Ph.D. students and postdocs. All students, especially students from underrepresented groups, are welcome to contact Dr. Huang.
