Research Interests
My research focuses on the multidisciplinary area of atmospheric chemistry. Specifically photochemistry and global biogeochemical cycles. Our research group, composed of chemists and meteorologists, develops analytical instruments (such as chemiluminescent NO, NOx, NOy analyzers, NDIR CO detectors, and chemical actinometers (for photolysis rate measurements). We then employ these instruments in the laboratory, field, and on aircraft, and interpret the results in terms of photochemistry and atmospheric physics.
