Jeffrey R. Arnold (Ph.D. UNC DESE, 1997) is Senior Scientist for the US Army Corps of Engineers and co-directs the Corps' climate change programs. Jeff worked closely with Harvey and Rich for more than 10 years at the UNC Ambient Air Research Facility and in the UNC numerical modelling laboratories where his ideas about how to do atmospheric science and apply science for public health benefit were deeply shaped and nurtured in conversations with Harvey and Rich.



Jian Zhen Yu (Ph.D. UNC DESE, 1996) is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Division of Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. She has been an editor of Environmental Chemistry since 2010. Jian did her Ph.D. work, under the supervision of Harvey, on product characterisation from atmospheric photooxidation of isoprene and alkylbenzenes in the UNC outdoor smog chamber. She spent 2 years as a postdoctoral fellow in Professor John Seinfeld's group at Caltech after completing her Ph.D. studies. Her current research interests in aerosol chemistry are deeply influenced by Rich's teaching of the gas–particle interaction course and conversations with Harvey and Rich throughout her UNC years and beyond.
