Research Interests:
I conduct interdisciplinary research on air pollution and climate change. I am interested in: modeling of ozone and particles on urban, regional and global scales; air pollution science and management; integrated assessment; international air pollution transport; radiative forcing of climate; impacts of air pollution and climate change on human health; and the integrated planning of air pollution and climate mitigation.
