Welcome!

I am currently a Researcher 6 at the University of Minnesota in the Millet Atmospheric Chemistry group. My research involves the use of in situ and remote sensing measurements in combination with chemical transport modeling to understand the physical and chemical processes affecting atmospheric composition.

My recent work has focused on:

• Development and evaluation of trace gas measurements from satellite-based instruments (TES and CrIS)
• Forward and inverse modeling using GEOS-Chem and the GEOS-Chem adjoint to quantify sources of atmospheric VOCs and greenhouse gases and the underlying processes controlling them
• Information content analysis of different observing systems (ground-based, airborne, space-based) for inverse modeling of atmospheric composition
