Bill Nazaroff
Nazaroff is a third-generation California native. His mediocre high-school running career (at Warren High in Downey and Los Altos in Hacienda Heights) during the 1970s provided first-hand knowledge of the respiratory effects of air pollution during strenuous exercise. Now he serves as professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and chair of the Energy and Resources Group at Berkeley. His research focuses on indoor air quality and on assessing human exposure to air pollution from major sources. Along with his students and colleagues, Bill has contributed more than 100 research articles to scientific journals and he coauthored a textbook, Environmental Engineering Science (Wiley, 2001). He is associate editor of the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association and of Indoor Air. Nazaroff earned degrees in physics (B.A., Berkeley, 1978), electrical engineering and computer science (M.Eng., Berkeley, 1980), and environmental engineering science (Ph.D., Caltech, 1989). His doctoral research investigated the soiling hazard faced by museum artifacts and included “field” work at the Norton Simon and Getty Museums. He has been a visiting professor at the Technion (Haifa, Israel, 1996-97) and at the Technical University of Denmark, near Copenhagen (2001 and 2006). He and his wife live in Oakland. They recently became “empty nesters” as the youngest of their three daughters began pursuing her college degree at UCLA.
