Research
Dr. Ying’s research on air quality is focused on the following areas:
(1) Urban/Regional air quality modeling – Advanced air quality models are used to study the emission, transport, chemical transformation of airborne pollutants. Our current research is focused on developing chemical mechanisms that better predict the formation and transformation of primary and secondary air pollution under different emission, geographical and meteorological conditions.
(2) Source apportionment of air pollution – Advanced air quality models are used to determine the source contributions to particulate matter and ozone formation and attribute the effect of different sources on visibility, climate change and human health. Correctly and efficiently determining the source contribution to particulate matter and ozone formation is important for policy makers to design efficient emission control strategies. 
(3) Transportation air quality - Advanced modeling techniques for air quality predictions near road ways are developed to predict air pollutant levels near roadways. We are also interested in studying the formation and transformation mechanisms of various air pollutants near roadways.
