Message:
Our understanding of atmospheric aerosol particles is still in its infancy, particularly with regards to organics and trace-metals. These particles have demonstrated adverse health impacts and their effect on the Earth’s climate remains the greatest uncertainty in climate change models. I am interested in understanding the role that light-absorbing particles play in climate change and how spatial gradients in air pollution can affect climate and human health in urban and industrialized environments. In recent years, I have spent time studying some of North America’s most polluted atmospheric environments, including Los Angeles, Mexico City, St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland. My current research projects include developing methods for isolating and analyzing pollutants in rain and snow samples and the development of electrochemical and biological sensors for measuring air pollution in real-time.
