Donahue received a B.A. in Physics from Brown University in 1984 and a PhD in Meteorology and Atmospheric Chemistry from MIT in 1991. His thesis was "Non-methane Hydrocarbon Chemistry in the Remote Marine Atmosphere" and his advisor was Ronald G. Prinn. Prof. Donahue was a Postdoc and Research Scientist at Harvard from 1991–2000 with James G. Anderson and thereupon joined Carnegie Mellon University. He is currently Thomas Lord Professor in Chemistry, a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy and the Director of the Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research.[1] Research"His principal interest is in the oxidation chemistry of Earth's atmosphere — specifically the oxidation of organic compounds and the associate radical processes in the atmosphere. Two closely connected areas are ozonolysis chemistry and the chemistry controlling organic-aerosol levels and properties in the atmosphere. Aerosols — fine particulate matter, or PM — are of interest for two major reasons: particles play a central role in climate, and they kill people. The leading uncertainty on the forcing side of climate science is the degree to which cloud properties have changed between 1850 and now due to changes in the number concentrations of fine, water-soluble particles that act as cloud-condensation nuclei. Also, approximately 50,000 people die prematurely each year in the U.S. alone from inhalation of elevated levels of fine PM. More than half of the fine PM mass is composed of a very complex mixture of highly oxidized organic compounds. They are water soluble and have unknown health effects but appear to correlate positively with observed health endpoints."[1] Notable achievements
