DR YUANYUAN FANG is an Atmospheric Scientist. She works on scientific problems related to atmospheric composition, including air pollutants and greenhouse gases – species that are key to the environment, climate, ecosystem and mankind, using models and observations. She has published 30+ peer-reviewed papers on air pollution, climate change, carbon cycle and health.
After many years of research on continental-global scale problems, she joined the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, where she expects her expertise to have immediate positive impacts on the public. Her current work is to understand and improve air quality for all Bay Area residents, especially the disadvantaged communities.
Yuanyuan Fang was a Senior Research Associate in the Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford University. She was a Science, Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) fellow in Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs. She received her Ph.D. from the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program in Princeton University in 2010, after spending five years in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab.
How Did A Science On The Sideline Strike The Lottery?
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded “for ground-breaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems”, with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe (“Suki”) and Klaus Hasselmann “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate,…
