About

Dylan B. Millet is a leading atmospheric chemist whose research bridges the gap between global chemical transport models and regional air quality, with a particular focus on South Asia. His work centers on understanding the sources, transport, and climate impacts of tropospheric aerosols and trace gases. In a landmark 2018 study (133 citations), Millet pioneered the use of the GEOS-Chem model to simulate aerosol optical depth (AOD) over India, comparing emissions from the SMOG inventory with standard global datasets. This work revealed critical discrepancies in how regional emissions are represented, directly informing policy on particulate pollution in one of the world’s most aerosol-laden regions. Beyond this, Millet has made foundational contributions to the global budgets of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their oxidation pathways, using satellite observations and inverse modeling to constrain emissions. His research has been cited over 7,000 times, reflecting its influence on both climate science and public health. Millet’s ability to integrate bottom-up inventories with top-down satellite data has set a new standard for regional air quality modeling, making him a key voice in the fight against atmospheric pollution.
