    Prof. Renyi Zhang is holder of the Harold J. Haynes Endowed Chair in Geosciences at Texas A&M University and appointed Distinguished University Professor in 2014. He earned a Ph.D. from MIT. His research at Texas A&M has led to breakthroughs and paradigm shifts in several atmospheric fields—photochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons; formation, growth, and properties of aerosols; urban and regional air pollution; ambient measurements of trace gases and aerosols; and assessment of aerosol-cloud-climate interaction—and provided critical insights into the impacts of human activities on the environment, weather, and climate. He has published more than 160 papers in peer-refereed journals. Currently, Zhang serves as director of the Center for Atmospheric Chemistry and the Environment at Texas A&M, chairs the American Meteorological Society’s Atmospheric Chemistry Committee, is editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research–Atmospheres and Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, and is a member of the International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution. He has received numerous awards, including honorary professorships at Peking University and Fudan University in China, the Outstanding International Collaboration Researcher Award from the China National Science Foundation, The Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award—Research, the Bush Excellence Award for Faculty in International Research, and the Cheung-Kong Distinguished Scholar Award from the Ministry of Education–China.
