4th Miami Workshop on Aerosol Science and Technology - Summer School in Winter
The Center for Aerosol Science and Technology (CAST) at the University of Miami is hosting its 4th Annual Workshop on Aerosol Science and Technology on January 14 to 16, 2026. The purpose of this three-day workshop is to learn fundamentals of aerosol science and nanoparticle technology, and promote academic and industrial collaborative opportunities. Tutorial session and invited keynote speakers will lead the technical sessions on:
- Nanoparticle Technology: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications
- Emerging Aerosols in Coastal Environments
- Indoor Air Quality and Public Health
- Particle Instrument Hands-on Demonstration
- Malvern Panalytical Special Session on Advanced Materials Characterizations
- Tutorials on topics related to Aerosol Science and Technology
The technical sessions will be accompanied by poster sessions, exhibits, and lab tours. The Workshop is specifically advantageous to beginning researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, junior faculty) and participants from Industry.
CAST is a newly established research center at the University of Miami that has nine core and multiple affiliated faculty members from the College of Engineering, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, and Miller School of Medicine. CAST focuses on the characterization of fundamental aerosol formation and transformation processes to determine impacts on the environment, climate, and human health and to utilize these processes to develop new materials to enable energy, environmental and medical technologies.
