Short CV

Frank Keutsch is Stonington Professor of Engineering and Atmospheric Science in the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. He received his PhD (Physical Chemistry) at the University of California Berkeley and his Diplom at TU Munich (Chemistry). His research combines laboratory and field experiments with instrument development to investigate fundamental mechanisms of anthropogenic influence on atmospheric composition within the context of impacts on climate, humans and the environment.
