  My current research is focused on the development, operation, and field deployment of instrumentation for the measurement of gas phase species to improve our understanding of air quality impacts on urban and rural regions. Essential to this work is the development of calibration methods for both laboratory and field use. My research is one part of a large-scale collaboration between the investigators comprising the Tropospheric chemistry group at NOAA, whose work is mainly focused on the field deployment of laboratory-developed techniques for air quality monitoring.

  My post-doctoral work was focused on the measurement of volatile organic compounds with a proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-TOF-MS) across a wide range of applications. This work involved extensive method development for a variety of experimental conditions including ambient air and gas canister sampling, soil emissions monitoring, and laboratory observation of biosphere emissions.

  My doctoral work was based on the development of a mass spectrometric technique for the detection of gas phase acids. This work comprised of methodological and instrumentation development beginning with the theoretical chemistry, to instrument design, laboratory validation, and field deployment. Due to the nature of the acidic species detected using this technique the development of new calibration method was required, resulting in the design and validation of the Mobile Organic Carbon Calibration System (MOCCS, www.atmos-meas-tech.net/3/683/2010). Additional details on the chemical ionization mass spectrometer developed and relevant publications can be found on the web: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/groups/csd7/instruments/cims.html Show less
