Andino Research Group Overview
Professor Jean Andino

Welcome to the website of Professor Jean Andino and her research group!

Dr. Andino and her research team are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to air quality issues. The group utilizes fundamental chemical kinetics and reaction engineering principles to:

  • Understand atmospheric chemical transformations
  • Design air pollution control techniques and devices, including those related to energy
  • Develop air pollutant sensing technologies

Recent applications include ambient smog formation, carbon dioxide conversion to fuels, and ionic liquid-based sensors for air pollutants.

We invite you to follow the links above to learn more.
