Message from the President

Dear Colleagues,

Since its founding 42 years ago, AAAR has grown to be one of the world’s premier associations of aerosol scientists and engineers. It is becoming increasingly clear that aerosol science is central to many of the most pressing issues today, from air quality, climate, and energy to public health and technology. Our members are experts who are in a position to understand and contribute to solutions for these issues – we also share that knowledge, contribute to the public discourse surrounding these topics, and support decision-making. It is my honor to serve you, as you play these vital roles through your research, innovation, communication, and leadership.

We look forward to our next opportunity to gather together, the 42nd Annual Meeting of AAAR, October 21-25 2024 in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Every year, the AAAR Annual meeting is the best venue for sharing breakthrough aerosol research and learning about the latest developments in aerosol technology. Albuquerque is an exciting new location for us – please join us Wednesday evening for a special “only in Albuquerque” experience at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, following the annual Business Meeting! All attendees are not only welcome but encouraged to attend the Business Meeting – come find out what goes on behind the scenes at AAAR to keep it running smoothly, mingle with Association leadership, and find out ways to become involved.

In my Winter Particulars message I shared the great news that we will be in Buffalo, NY for the 43rd Annual Meeting, October 12-17, 2025. Now, I am thrilled to announce the location of our 44th Annual Meeting: Pasadena, CA! It will be fantastic to be back in Southern California, where so many of our members call home. Mark your calendars for October 26-30, 2026.
