Dr. Kevin Perry has more than 19 years of management and research experience in the areas of ambient air quality monitoring, instrumentation/analytical technique development, source apportionment, atmospheric dry deposition, and the climatic and health effects of particulate matter. His experience includes management and participation in ~20 ambient air monitoring projects ranging from local-scale pollution events (e.g. plumes from the World Trade Center collapse, smoke from pyrotechnic displays) to the intercontinental transport of pollutants (e.g., Aerosol Characterization Experiment – ACE-Asia, International Transport and Chemical Transformation Experiment – ITCT2K2). Dr. Perry has deployed ambient air monitoring equipment at ground-based, ship-based, airborne, and high-altitude mountain observatories around the globe. He also developed a technique using the Advanced Light Source (ALS) Synchrotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to use Synchrotron-Xray Fluorescence (S-XRF) to characterize the size- and time-resolved elemental composition of atmospheric particulate matter.
