Richard Corsi
Dean
UC Davis College of Engineering
Dr. Richard L. Corsi received his B.S. in environmental resources engineering from Humboldt State University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil (and environmental) engineering from UC Davis. He was instrumental in helping develop a new environmental engineering program at the University of Guelph, and built a research program there that focused on gas-liquid mass transfer and emissions of toxic chemicals from municipal wastewater.
Chris Cappa
Professor/Department Chair
UC Davis Civil and Environmental Engineering
Professor Cappa is interested in quantifying and understanding the processes that control the emission, evolution, and impacts of atmospheric aerosols. The Cappa group carries out laboratory and field studies, and develops and applies simple models, to characterize and predict aerosol physical, chemical and optical properties.
