EVEN Prof. Daven Henze has earned the 2017 S.P. Chip and Lori Johnson Faculty Fellowship.
Daven Henze joined CU Boulder in 2009 and has earned the Sullivan-Carlson Innovation in Education Award, the Dean’s Junior Faculty Performance Award and the Provost’s Faculty Achievement Award, to name a few.
Henze's research interests are in aerosols and air quality, climatology and atmospheric chemistry, adjoint sensitivity analysis, data assimilation and remote sensing & modeling tools. His research group focuses on the role that atmospheric constituents such as ozone, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (aerosols) play in local air quality, long range pollution transport, and climate change. A large part of their research stems from chemical data assimilation, the process by which both models and observations are combined to produce estimates of the atmospheric state that are often more complete than those provided by either approach alone. These estimates are used in applications from constraining emissions to optimizing energy system models to achieve specific air quality and climate objectives.
Congratulations Professor Henze!
