Adjunct Assistant Professor, Ph.D., Chemical
Engineering, University of Cambridge, England
Dr. van der Vaart conducts research in the following areas: mathematical modeling and regulatory and policy issues with application to air pollution; development of mathematical models capable of estimating the performance of various commonly used air pollution control devices; statistical analysis, with applications to the characterization of ambient tropospheric ozone data and to the evaluation of key factors affecting ozone formation; and regulatory and policy analysis, including evaluation of multimedia (gas, liquid, and solid) application of regulations that are currently used only for single media.
