Research summary

Anusha P. S. Hettiyadura studies atmospheric chemistry, focusing on how particles called aerosols form in the air and how human and natural (biogenic) sources contribute to them. Much of this work examines organosulfates—sulfur-containing organic compounds in air pollution—and their role in secondary organic aerosol formation, water uptake, and source tracing of fine particulate matter in cities like Atlanta and Houston. This research is relevant to understanding air quality and its links to climate and health.
