Research Summary

Main theme of my research is the chemical processes that lead to air quality and visibility issues. Given my background in atmospheric laboratory and field studies, my current research is focused on the chemical processes most relevant to the air quality issues in UT and the Intermountain West, and their policy implications for improving air quality.
