The Center for Aerosol Science & Engineering (CASE) at Washington University in St. Louis is focused on the advancement of knowledge through aerosol science and technology in the areas of energy, environment, materials and health.
Aerosol science and engineering encompass the basic principles that describe the formation, growth, evolution and transport of a system of particles suspended in a gaseous medium, and the measurement, characterization and modeling of their properties.
Advances in this cross-disciplinary area of research are pivotal to improving our understanding and estimation of climate change, enhancing environmental quality, assessing health impacts and enabling advanced material synthesis.
