Research Interests

My research centers on environmental and climatic effects of atmospheric aerosol particles particularly from anthropogenic sources.

Specifically, I focus on

modeling aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions and air quality;
experimentally and theoretically studying aerosol clustering and formation;
laboratory monitoring and characterizing air pollutants’ emissions;
and statistically investigating environmental and climatic effects of all other human activities.
