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!

Stephen presents CIMS research at the ANACHEM Symposium
On Nov 2, I (Stephen) attended the Detroit Association of Analytical Chemists (ANACHEM) annual symposium at Burton Manor in Livonia, MI. My poster, titled "Measurements of Trace Halogen Gases in the Alaskan Arctic using Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry", focused on the use of our chemical ionization mass spectrometer to measure trace halogen gases near Utqiagvik, Alaska in spring 2016. This was a great opportunity to share my work with other analytical chemists from diverse backgrounds at many of the regional universities. The plenary speaker, Prof. Paul Cremer from Penn State University, was the recipient of the 2016 ANACHEM Award and gave an excellent talk on his group's multi-disciplinary work in biophysics and biological interfaces. I was also able to catch up with my former undergraduate advisor at Michigan State, Prof. Dana Spence, and visited with the old research group!
