Luke Ziemba

Dr. Luke Ziemba grew up in northern New York and attended the Rochester Institute of Technology majoring in Chemistry. He later obtained M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Earth Sciences from the University of New Hampshire with Dr. Robert Griffin and Dr. Jack Dibb. Subsequently, Dr. Ziemba did post-doctoral work at NASA Langley Research Center with Dr. Bruce Anderson and the Langley Aerosol Research Group (LARGE), where he currently works full-time making airborne in-situ chemical, microphysical, and optical property measurements of ambient aerosols.
