BACKGROUND
Paul Voss is an engineer and atmospheric scientist with interests in pollution transport, climate, and aerial 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, Hawaii, and the Arctic (www.science.smith.edu/cmet).
Within the engineering program, Paul teaches courses that combine quantitative analysis and sustainable design. EGR 100, which is open to all students at Smith, teaches solar building design using mathematical methods, scale model development, electronics, rapid prototyping, and experimentation. Other relevant courses, which require technical prerequisites, include EGR 312 (Atmospheric Processes), EGR 374 (Fluid Mechanics), EGR 377 (Aerial Vehicle Design).
Prior to joining the Smith faculty, Voss was a research assistant professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
