A comprehensive look at Southern Ocean Aerosols and Ice Nucleating particles, comprised of 6 research cruises (SOTS, SWOT, MISO, Denman Marine Voyage, COAST-K) and 2 annual cycles of observations at Davis Station, Antarctica. We seek to double the current INP observations in this region to investigate the role of INPs on cloud ice fraction.
I am currently on the Denman expedition through the Southern Ocean, from Tasmania to the Denman Glacier, Antarctica on the RSV Nuyina this February-May 2025.

A NASA/NCAR aircraft campaign sampling gases over Asia in the upper troposphere lower stratosphere (UTLS) to investigate the lofting of chemical species due to Asian Summer Monsoon convection. As a part of the Huey team (Georgia Tech), we operated our chemical ionization mass spectrometer (GT-CIMS) aboard the NCAR GV to measure sulfur dioxide and other relevant species in the upper troposphere.

As part of the Georgia Tech capstone, a field mission project was conducted at the Skidaway Island Institute for Oceanography in Savannah, GA, and in the Atlantic Ocean via the RV Savannah. This project investigated the impacts of urbanization and climate change on the Skidaway Island ecosystem. My capstone focused on aerosol transport and the characterization of CCN aerosols.

As part of a DoD grant, the Huey lab outfitted multiple trailers to collect carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter measurements downwind of controlled burn sites to assess the impact of various burn methods on air quality. Trailers were also outfitted with meteorological instruments to investigate transport downwind of these sites.

A student-run research project to design and build a High Altitude Balloon payload (radiosonde) and launch system in order to measure atmospheric properties. Two successful launches took place over the course of two semesters. This is an ongoing project and data can be found here.
