Research Interests
My group performs interdisciplinary research in
chemistry, atmospheric, and environmental sciences.
My research training and experiences have led me to approach
scientific questions comprehensively – with
a combination of laboratory, field, and theoretical approaches. My
group is active as a participant and leader in field campaigns. Current
observations include the AEROSE project, field sites in Puerto Rico,
and a developing network in collaboration with several African Universities
influenced by climate change in the Sahara and Sahel. The research
themes that guide the current projects are: 1) the impacts of aerosols
on global atmospheric chemistry, 2) the impacts of tropospheric aerosols
on urban environment and health, 3) the interplay between weather and
climate phenomena and atmospheric chemistry – “chemical
meteorology”, 4) the impacts and evolution of aerosols during
long-range transport – especially associated with the African
easterly jet (AEJ) and biomass burning air masses
of African origin, and 5) aerosol and gas-phase chemistry
in extraterrestrial atmospheres
