We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Armin Sorooshian, Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona, for receiving the Joanne Simpson Medal from the American Geophysical Union (AGU)—one of the highest honors for midcareer scientists in Earth and space sciences.

Dr. Sorooshian’s pioneering research focuses on airborne aerosol particles and their impact on climate, air quality, and human health. His work addresses critical issues, including uncertainties in climate models and health risks from particulate pollution.

In addition, he has been named an AGU Fellow, a distinction awarded to just 0.1% of the organization’s 60,000+ members.
