Jochen Stutz is Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles. His group works on the development of spectroscopic remote sensing instruments to measure atmospheric trace gases and its application to study atmospheric chemistry. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed publications and published a widely read book on the Principles and Application of Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) (Platt and Stutz, 2008). In recent years, his group has worked on improving long-path DOAS instruments for the measurement of BTEX compounds with the goal of further establishing this method as an accurate monitoring tool for refineries and air quality regulators.

Zoe Pierrat is a PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles. Her research focuses on improving the utility of remotely sensed data for estimating carbon fluxes, and environmental controls on carbon fluxes, within the terrestrial biosphere. Specifically she uses a combination of data collection and modeling (statistical and machine learning) to link solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, a small light signal emitted during the photosynthetic process, with plant carbon uptake in evergreen ecosystems.
