LISA welcomes B. Finlayson-Pitts' group
On June 10, 2025, researchers from the group led by Barbara Finlayson-Pitts, Professor of Chemistry at UCI (University of California Irvine) and a pioneer in the study of atmospheric chemistry, visited the MEREIA group.
Barbara Finlayson-Pitts' group is world-renowned for its studies of atmospheric processes such as new particle formation, heterogeneous chemistry and surface chemistry. During the visit, UCI researchers chatted with researchers and students from the MEREIA group, and shared a convivial moment over lunch, followed by scientific presentations given by both groups and a tour of the CESAM experimental simulation platform. The event was well attended, and the discussions and exchanges were very interesting.
On June 12, 2025 Barbara Finlayson-Pitts received the prestigious L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awards in Paris (https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/five-exceptional-researchers-win-2025-loreal-unesco-women-science-international-awards). Our most sincere congratulations to Prof. Finlayson-Pitts for this award, which testifies to an exceptional career!
