Greg Drozd

Greg received his B.S. in Chemistry from The Ohio State University in 2005 and PhD in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University in 2011. He held post-doctoral research positions in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University and the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California at Berkeley and was a visiting scholar in the Dept. of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the faculty at Colby in 2017, teaching physical chemistry. As an atmospheric chemist, he has studied alkene ozonolysis, vehicle emissions, aircraft emissions, oil-spill emissions, aerosol chemistry. Currently research in the Drozd Lab is focused on photochemistry of atmospheric pollutants, notably forest fire emissions, and characterization of microplastics in human tissue samples.
