    Biography

    Dr. Lou joined Nanjing University in 2019. Currently, she is an Associate Professor in the School of Atmospheric Sciences. She is an expert in developing and using atmospheric chemistry models to understand and model of human influence on the Earth system. Her research interests are the interactions between air pollution and climate change; anthropogenic and biogenic sources interactions and feedback on aerosol and ozone; future energy use and pollution control. She has published 35 papers in academic journals, including high-impact journals such as Earth's Future, JAMES, Nature Communication and PNAS, the citation rate reaches 1500 times.
