Research Interests:
Vision: To improve the scientific understanding needed to predict the concentrations, properties and effects of organic particulate matter on a local and regional scale, and to understand human exposure to airborne particles and particle-phase species.
Motivation: Essential for the development of effective climate change mitigation strategies, air pollution control strategies, and public health protection.
Methods: The development of more rapid and more sensitive instrumentation for sampling and analysis of atmospheric organic aerosols; microscopic mixing characteristics of ambient aerosols, secondary formation of organic aerosols; partitioning of organic compounds between gas and particulate phases; exposure assessment; collaborative aerosol health studies.
