Dr. Kaiser is the Clifford and William Greene, Jr. Early Career Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, with a joint appointment in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University before joining the Georgia Tech faculty in 2018.
Dr. Kaiser's research examines the formation and impacts of air pollutants. Her research group has been involved in aircraft-based measurement campaigns that map regional atmospheric processes, deployment of long-term monitoring networks that track pollution trends over time, and intensive ground-based field studies that probe chemical complexities. These observations are paired with computational modeling to examine the influence of anthropogenic emissions on atmospheric composition and to assess the broader implications for air quality.
Ph.D., Chemistry University of Wisconsin-Madison 2016
B.S., Chemistry Wittenberg University 2010
Dr. Kaiser's teaching spans first-year undergraduate to graduate-level courses. She regularly teaches the first-year Exploring Civil and Environmental Engineering course, as well as courses in Air Pollution Engineering and Atmospheric Chemistry. Courses emphasize real-world data analysis and connections between theoretical concepts and environmental challenges.
Georgia Tech researchers are innovating ways to study air quality — beginning with prehistoric insights and zooming all the way to satellites in our orbit.
Faculty members Sheng Dai and Jennifer Kaiser have been selected for appointments to endowed positions within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
