Drew Gentner is an Associate Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering whose work focuses on air pollutant emissions including reactive organic carbon, their subsequent atmospheric chemistry, and novel advancements in analytical chemistry capabilities to measure known, understudied, and emerging pollutants in a variety of environments. The overarching objective and impact of his work is to resolve major knowledge gaps in the chemical and physical processes that drive air pollutant dynamics to inform air pollution control policy and ultimately improve public health and environmental quality. He is also a Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, as part of an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. He earned his PhD from the University of California-Berkeley in 2012. He has been on the faculty of Yale since 2014.
