CHAIR
William Nazaroff, Ph.D., is the Daniel Tellep Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr.
Nazaroff’s research focuses on the physics and chemistry of air pollutants in proximity to
people, especially in indoor environments. His research also involves the domain of exposure
science, stressing the development and application of methods to better understand
mechanistically the relationship between emission sources and human exposure to pollutants.
Dr. Nazaroff is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Indoor Air. He is the former president of the
Academy of Fellows in the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate, and also
served as president of the American Association for Aerosol Research. Dr. Nazaroff received his
master’s in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California,
Berkeley, and holds a Ph.D. in environmental engineering sciences from California Institute of
Technology. He is coauthor of Environmental Engineering Science, and has served on the
Institute of Medicine Committee on the Effect of Climate Change on Indoor Air Quality and
Public Health (Member, 2011) and the Committee on Air Quality in Passenger Cabins of
Commercial Aircraft (Member, 2001).

and control of indoor air pollution. His research foci are on homogeneous and heterogeneous
chemistry that occur indoors, the novel use of building materials to sequester indoor chemistry,
and links between building energy use and indoor air quality. Dr. Corsi received his M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from the University of California at Davis. He has been
honored as a Distinguished Alumnus of Humboldt State University and of the College of
Engineering at the University of California at Davis. His work has been featured significantly in
the media, from the Canadian television series The Nature of Things, to The Economist, Business
Week, and National Geographic.
Howard Kipen, M.D., M.P.H., is the interim Chair of the Department of Environmental &
Occupational Health, the Director of the Division of Clinical Research & Occupational Medicine,
and the Associate Director of the Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute at the
Rutgers School of Public Health. Dr. Kipen’s research focuses on clinical and epidemiological
studies of the health effects of ambient air pollution. He received his M.D. from the University
of California, San Francisco, and holds an M.P.H. from Columbia University. He is the Chair of
NASA Human Research Program’s Advanced Environmental Health / Advanced Food
Technology Standing Review Panel; Governor’s Appointee, Public Employee’s Occupational
Safety and Health Review Commission, New Jersey Department of Labor; and Member of the
