The Aerosol Research Laboratory of Alberta (ARLA) is within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta and is directed by Professor Warren Finlay. ARLA has published more than 100 highly respected peer-reviewed journal publications. Its primary research is aimed at exploring, predicting and controlling the behavior of inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols using a mix of sophisticated experimental, theoretical and numerical methods that involve aerosol mechanics, fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, and interfacial science.
