Grassian's expertise is on the chemistry of environmental interfaces. Her studies have provided a molecular level understanding enabling the development of a new field of inquiry with significant implications for larger societal issues.  Her research is focused on understanding the detailed chemistry of complex environmental interfaces that include atmospheric aerosols, geochemical and engineered nanomaterials in the environment, and indoor surfaces so as to provide a conceptual framework for the global impacts and implications of these interfaces in atmospheric chemistry and climate, environment chemistry and indoor air chemistry and quality, respectively.  Grassian, through integration of surface chemistry, microscopy and spectroscopy with analysis of laboratory measurements, field samples and theoretical modeling has provided the fundamental framework in this field.
