Laboratory Studies And Atmospheric ObservationsScientist
Biography
My research background is in gas-phase physical chemistry; focusing on laboratory-based photochemistry research for Earth’s Troposphere and Stratosphere. More recently I have focused on atmospheric chemistry that is important to Venus and Exoplanets. Alongside the chemistry research, I am working on design and development of a miniaturized semiconductor laser-based trace gas sensor for the ISS (MiniTOCA) and the remote sensing Airborne Scanning Microwave Limb Sounder (A-SMLS) instrument which flies on the ER-2 aircraft.
