Celebrating Excellence:
Three CE-CERT Affiliated Faculty Members Named in the World’s Top 2% Scientists List for 2023
We Engineer Excellence-- Our motto isn't just a phrase; it's a commitment we uphold. CE-CERT is proud to announce that three of our faculty researchers have been recognized among the world’s top 2% scientists for 2023. Compiled by Stanford University, this prestigious list recognizes the outstanding contributions of researchers across the globe and is a testament to years of dedication and hard work. CE-CERT takes immense pride in announcing the inclusion of three seasoned researchers: Dr. Matthew Barth, Dr. William (Bill) Carter, and Dr. Georgios Karavalakis.
Dr. Matthew Barth: Dr. Barth is the Esther and Daniel Hays Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and currently serves as the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the Bourns College of Engineering. He is renowned for his expertise in Intelligent Transportation Systems, and how ITS can be utilized to reduce the environmental impacts of transportation. His specific research topics include sustainable transportation, electric vehicle technology and infrastructure, and connected and automated vehicles. Dr. Barth’s pioneering work in intelligent transportation solutions has not only yielded numerous papers but also has led to a variety of real-world sustainable transportation applications.
Dr. William (Bill) Carter: Dr. Carter, an Emeritus Research Chemist at CE-CERT, is a renowned atmospheric chemist. Widely adopted by research groups and control agencies, his research on gas-phase atmospheric reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their contributions to ozone formation, known as reactivities, has had a globally profound impact in the scientific community. Additionally, Dr. Carter’s work has practical applications evident in airshed models used worldwide. With an extensive body of research comprising over 100 journal articles and 100 technical reports, Dr. Carter’s contributions have significantly advanced the understanding of atmospheric chemistry.
Dr. Georgios Karavalakis: Dr. Karavalakis, Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, stands at the forefront of experimental research in combustion engines and alternative fuels. His research on emissions’ physicochemical characteristics and specialization in low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels contributes significantly to the understanding of environmental impacts from mobile sources. His research, particularly on secondary aerosol formation from combustion engines, plays a pivotal role in emission reduction strategies. His work has also been published in high-impact factor journals and has been presented at national and international conferences, garnering recognition from peers and experts in the field.
The groundbreaking contributions of these researchers are an inspiration to the scientific and engineering community, as well as sets a high standard for future researchers at CE-CERT. As we celebrate their success, CE-CERT is proud to continue our commitment to engineering excellence and pioneering advancements in environmental research.
