  1. The Sheldon K. Friedlander Award American Association for Aerosol Research

  2. S.K. and Irving Friedlander Sheldon Friedlander was born in New York City. He attended NYC public schools, served in the US Army, and received a BS at Columbia, a MS at MIT, and a Ph.D. at Illinois. He was introduced to aerosols at the Harvard School of Public Health where he worked on nuclear reactor safety. He served on the faculty at Columbia and at Johns Hopkins in 1954, Caltech in 1964, and UCLA in 1978. Still scientifically active, Friedlander mentors young scientists and campaigns tirelessly for the recognition of aerosol science and technology (AST) as an enabling discipline.

  3. Pioneer Contributions of Friedlander: Particle deposition from turbulent gases Self-preserving size distributions Aerosol filtration theory Receptor modeling using chemical element balances for source resolution Single particle chemical analysis using aerosol beams and mass spectrometer “Aerosol reaction engineering” (coined by him) for synthesis of fine particle products Dynamic behavior of nanoparticle chain aggregates Smoke, Dust and Haze (1977, 2000) A founder of AAAR

  4. This award honorsProfessor Sheldon Friedlander for his leadership as a researcher, teacher, and pioneer in aerosol science. The Sheldon K. Friedlander Award “recognizes an outstanding dissertation by an individual who has earned a doctoral degree. The dissertation can be in any discipline in the physical, biomedical, or engineering sciences but has to be in a field of aerosol science and technology”.

  5. 2004 Recipient of the Sheldon K. Friedlander Award Peter J. Adams Asst. Prof. in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University “Peter’s model for global aerosol size distributions provides the first foundation for describing physically the indirect radiative effect by aerosols on GCMs.” “Peter showed, based on IPCC emission scenarios of SO2 and NOx, global levels of nitrate aerosols in 2100 will exceed sulfates.”
