E-learning
Do you need training in the fundamentals of aerosol science?
ASFERA offers its members access to the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science training resources. The resources provide training in the underlying physical science governing the properties and transformations of aerosols. These materials comprise over 50 hours of mini lectures, extensive multiple choice problem sets to test learning, and detailed reading lists.

The Core Aerosol Science topics include:
- Size distributions, shape, and concentrations
- Deposition, filtration, and sampling
- Aerosol measurement: Size, concentration, shape, mass
- Electrical properties
- Aerosol phase and thermodynamics
- Optical properties of aerosol
- Introduction to biological aerosol
- Nucleation and new particle formation
- Aerosol evaporation and condensation
- Aerosol particle sources and aerosol routes to materials synthesis
- Inhaled aerosols and health
- Chemical reactions, and analysis of composition, phase, volatility
- Drug delivery to the lungs
- Aerosol transport and dynamics
To request access to these CDT training materials through Asfera, please access the online webform hereunder.

Spaces are limited so don’t miss out!
Are you also interested in other opportunities for training such as One-day online short courses on specific aerosol topics or a week-long in-person training course (e.g. summer school)? The EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science are exploring the possibility of providing training targeted to PhD students, Post Docs and Early Career Academics, in one of these two formats during 2026 and would appreciate your thoughts on what would be most appropriate for meeting your training needs.
Please take the following survey. We will get in touch with you with more opportunities for training soon!
