Overview:
Our research projects are generally geared toward improving our understanding of regional and global tropospheric oxidation chemistry, and its relation to air quality and climate, through a combination of field measurements, laboratory process studies, and computer modeling.
As part of these efforts we focus on the development of field-deployable detection technologies involving selected-negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry and unique kinetic and product studies of heterogeneous chemistry in the laboratory. Our research has been funded through grants from the NSF, NASA, DOE, CARB, as well as the University of Washington.
