About
Jacob Swanson is a leading expert in aerosol measurement and vehicle emissions characterization, with a primary focus on the accuracy and limitations of gravimetric analysis for particulate matter (PM) sampling. His work is critical to the development and enforcement of increasingly stringent air quality regulations. Swanson’s most cited research, “Uncertainty in Gravimetric Analysis Required for LEV III Light-Duty Vehicle PM Emission Measurements” (2018), directly addresses the challenge of measuring PM at levels approaching the detection limits of the standard gravimetric method. This study, which has garnered 4 citations, provides a rigorous assessment of measurement uncertainty as emission standards drop to 1 mg/mi, offering essential guidance for regulatory compliance and laboratory best practices. By quantifying the inherent variability in filter weighing, Swanson’s contributions help ensure that the data used to validate next-generation clean vehicle technologies are both reliable and defensible. His work is foundational for engineers and policymakers navigating the transition to ultra-low-emission vehicles, making him a key figure in the field of environmental aerosol science.
