The goal of the Biocomplexity Research Project is to develop and test, in the laboratory and in the field, an advanced instrumentation and computational modeling framework required to understand and predict the emission and transport of “Primary Biological Aerosol Particles” into the turbulent atmosphere. In this study we focus on pollen due, in part, to the pressing societal needs to understand pollen transport, and also because it offers the advantage that pollen from different plants differ morphologically allowing its sources and pathways to be identified.
This interdisciplinary project was recently initiated with the award of a 5 year grant from the National Science Foundation. The research is directed by six faculty members from several Engineering Departments who are also members of the Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics.

Brigid O’Brien took a year off from her studies to pursue what she describes as, “a once in a lifetime opportunity,” to clean and conserve the 130-year-old La Farge murals in Boston’s Trinity Church.
