National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research (IGERT) program on Indoor Environmental Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin trainee Brent Stephens poses in front of a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) that is used to count and size nanoparticles. Brent is using the SMPS and other state-of-the-art aerosol instrumentation to measure the penetration of particles from the outdoor environment to indoors as well as to develop a novel in-situ method to assess heating and cooling system filter efficiency.
