Research Interests

Emissions, chemistry and loss processes of organic carbon in both the gas and particle phases in the Earth's atmosphere. The atmospheric formation of secondary pollutants such as ozone and aerosol and their influence on air quality and climate. Development and use of mass spectrometric and other methods for measurements of volatile organic compounds.

Current Projects

• Emissions and chemistry of hydrocarbons, oxygenated species and organic aerosol in the polluted atmosphere
• Long-range atmospheric transport of forest fire and pollution plumes
• Evaluation of biogenic emission inventories using aircraft measurements
• Emissions of reactive alkenes and other trace gases from industrial point sources in Texas
• Air quality and climate effects of the production and use of alternative bio-fuels
