Paul Voss is a mechanical engineer and atmospheric scientist with interests in pollution transport, climate, and miniature flight vehicles. He has developed unique meteorological balloons that can be flown for thousands of miles as they measure pollutants, temperature structure, and winds. Voss and his students have participated in major atmospheric research campaigns in New England, Houston, Mexico, and the Arctic (www.science.smith.edu/cmet).
Currently, he is building a state-of-the-art atmospheric research station at Smith College. This site will be part of the regional AIRMAP network that provides real-time air pollution data to scientists and the public (www.airmap.unh.edu).
Prior to joining the Smith faculty, Voss was a research assistant professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Funded by a grant from the NSF Physical Meteorology Program, he developed novel altitude-controlled scientific balloons and supervised more than 15 undergraduate research projects.
