My research examines the interannual variability in background ozone concentrations in the contiguous United States using simulations from the GEOS-Chem model and data from EPA, CASTNet, and other observational datasets.
I also use models and observations to examine the climate derived internal variability and effect of anthropogenic aerosol emissions reductions on PM2.5 concentrations in the United States.
As an undergrad in Summer 2014, I interned at NASA as part of their Student Airborne Research Program (SARP). Using air samples collected aboard the DC-8, I found a plume of pollution in the atmosphere above California and tracked it back to Asia with a transport time of 4-5 days. My research was presented at the 2015 AGU conference in California.
