About
Dr. Matthew Brown is an aerosol and atmospheric instrumentation scientist in the NASA Langley Aerosol Research Group (LARGE), specializing in the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge instruments measuring particle microphysical properties for NASA’s high-altitude research aircraft in the Upper-Troposphere, Lower-Stratosphere (UTLS). Since joining as a postdoctoral researcher through the NASA NPP program, he has deployed across multiple airborne science campaigns to study the transport pathways of aerosol into the Stratosphere through various mechanisms.
