Amanda did her postdoctoral research in the Chemistry Department at UC Berkeley in the Cohen Group. There, she built an aerosol optical trap and studied the influence of surfactants on the hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles. Amanda started as an assistant professor at the University of Georgia in the Department of Chemistry in 2017. Her group is focused on understanding the composition and properties of surfactants in atmospheric aerosol particles and how these surfactants influence the hygroscopic properties of aerosol particles.
