Lorenzo Cena is a research scientist at CDC/NIOSH and adjunct professor at West Virginia University. Lorenzo brings several years of experience in occupational and environmental health, aerosol science and occupational hygiene. Lorenzo has deep experience in aerosol sampling, exposure assessment, control and characterization of composite nanomaterials, welding fumes, diesel exhaust, silica, etc. Lorenzo's skills include scanning and transmission electron microscopy, ion chromatography, mass spec (ICP-MS), industrial hygiene sampling and analysis, physical agents' exposure, and data management. Prior to working at NIOSH, Lorenzo worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Iowa. He received his Bachelor degree in Statistics from Brigham Young University with a minor in Business Management, his M.S. degree in Industrial Technology from Iowa State University with a specialization in Occupational Safety, and his PhD in Occupational and Environmental Health from The University of Iowa. Lorenzo has published technical papers in the occupational and environmental health area and is co-author on a patent for a personal sampler for nanoparticles (http://www.zefon.com/store/zefon-nrd-sampler.html).
