Clarkson University Professor Emeritus Philip Hopke receives international award

Posted

POTSDAM – Clarkson University Distinguished Professor Emeritus Philip K. Hopke was recently announced as the winner of the Fissan-Pui-TSI Award.

The Fissan-Pui-TSI Award is granted by the International Aerosol Research Assembly (IARA) to recognize collaboration in the field of aerosol science and technology between researchers and engineers residing on at least two different continents.

Hopke worked with Pentti A. Paatero, principal at YP-Tekniikka Ky Company in Finland, who received an honorary degree from Clarkson in 2016.

Paatero and Hopke began their collaboration in 1993 and continued past the retirement of Paatero. Their work has led to the development and widespread use of Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) as a tool for identifying and quantifying pollution sources in ambient aerosol studies.
