Welcome to the Pratt Lab blog! Dr. Kerri Pratt is an assistant professor in the Departments of Chemistry and Earth & Environmental Sciences and faculty associate of the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan. We study the chemical interactions of atmospheric trace gases, particles, clouds, and snow, with a focus on the Polar Regions and wintertime environments. Our interdisciplinary research has relevance to climate change, air quality, and human health. As an analytical chemistry lab, we primarily apply novel mass spectrometry techniques to our field research. We invite you to follow our adventures in (and outside!) the lab!

Congratulations to Graduating Senior Jillian Cellini!

Congratulations to Jillian Cellini, who is graduating this weekend with a B.S. with honors in Earth Systems Science!  Her honors thesis was titled "New particle formation and growth events in the Arctic."  Jill will continue to work in the Pratt lab over the summer, funded by a Michigan Space Grant Consortium Fellowship and the MCubed program, so luckily we don't have to say goodbye quite yet!
