Arezoo CAMPBELL, PhD

Dr. Campbell is an Associate Professor at Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU). She

received her Ph.D. in Toxicology from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in 1999 and was a

postdoctoral fellow at UCI from 2000-2002. Her research focus was in metal-induced neurotoxic

responses. From 2002 to 2006, she was an assistant adjunct professor in the Department of Community

and Environmental Medicine (UCI). In 2006 Dr. Campbell joined WesternU. The main focus of her

research is to determine how aberrant induction of innate immune responses may accelerate the

pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Currently her lab is investigating the potential of

particulate matter, which is present in air pollution, to trigger an inflammatory response in the CNS. She

serves on the editorial board of several journals including Particle & Fibre Toxicology, Journal of

Nanoneuroscience, and Conference Papers in Neuroscience. She has also served as a grant reviewer for

Alzheimer’s Association. Dr. Campbell is co-editor of a book entitled ‘Inflammatory Events in

Neurodegeneration’.

Donald DABDUB, PhD Dr. Dabdub’s main research efforts are to develop new physics and chemistry for air quality models, to design new algorithms for the numerical solution of the governing equations of air pollution dynamics, and to study the impact of various energy-related scenarios on urban airsheds. His research is conducted in two areas: atmospheric sciences and computational sciences. Working in the area of atmospheric sciences, his work is aimed at the mathematical modeling of urban and global air pollution, understanding the dynamics of atmospheric aerosols and global climate change. Within the realm of computational sciences, Dr. Dabdub is interested in massively parallel computations, the numerical analysis of partial differential equations, and the development of problem solving environments. His current activities include a modeling study of Cl2 formation from aqueous NaCl particles; development of a semi-Lagrangian flux scheme for the solution of the aerosol condensation/evaporation equation; development of a two-level time-marching scheme using splines for solving the advection equation; and an investigation into the effect of alveolar volume and sequential filling on the diffusing capacity of the lungs. His work can be applied to foster a better understanding of air pollution and the dynamics of global climate change.

methods for his research, including laboratory experiments, ground and airborne field measurements,

modeling, and remote sensing observations. He has been involved with nine major aircraft field

campaigns, including most recently the 2013 Nucleation in California Experiment (NICE) with the Navy

Twin Otter aircraft and the 2013 Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate

Coupling by Regional Surveys (SEAC4RS) with the NASA DC 8 aircraft. With funding through an Office of

Naval Research Young Investigator Program Award, he served as Principal Investigator of two field

campaigns with the Navy Twin Otter aircraft in the summers of 2011 and 2013 with a focus on studying

aerosol-cloud-precipitation-radiation interactions. His recent work has also included investigating

Jun WU, PhD Dr. Wu's research program focuses primarily on air pollution exposure assessment and environmental epidemiology. The overarching goal of our research is to more accurately characterize personal exposures to air pollutants and examine health effect due to air pollution exposure. Recent and current studies involve human exposure assessment studies (measurement and modeling), applications of geographical information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) tracking in exposure assessment and epidemiological studies, and impact of air pollution exposure on pregnancy outcomes and respiratory illnesses.
