Biography

Chiara Giorio did her PhD on multivariate statistical analysis of single particle mass spectra obtained from an aerosol time of flight mass spectrometer in collaboration between the research group of Professor Andrea Tapparo at the University of Padua (Italy) and Professor Roy M. Harrison at the University of Birmingham (UK). She is currently postdoctoral research associate at the Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Cambridge.
