I am currently a postdoctoral fellow working with Robert Talbot at the Climate Change Research Center at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). My PhD advisor was Daniel Jacob in the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group at Harvard University. My Ph.D. thesis was entitled: Interpretation of CH4-C2H6-C2H2-CO correlations in atmospheric observations as constraints on sources of methane and chemical aging. See more information in my thesis Abstract and Overview Chapter.

My research area of interest:

• Chemically and radiatively important species in the atmosphere: sources, composition, and the processes controlling their atmospheric abundance and distribution
  
• Biogenic and anthropogenic influences on chemistry and climate
  
• Future climate change on global and regional air quality
  
• Multiple applications of inverse modeling techniques in atmospheric chemistry
