  • Research interests
  • I study the formation, transformation, and impacts of atmospheric aerosols and trace gases, focusing on their roles in air quality and climate. My research integrates field observations, chamber experiments, and mass spectrometry to investigate multiphase processes across diverse environments.
  • Investigate the sources, chemical evolution, and life cycles of ambient aerosols and reactive gases through field measurement campaigns using high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (e.g., HR-ToF-AMS, PTR-ToF-MS).
  • Conduct chamber-based experiments (e.g., smog chamber, PAM chamber) under controlled oxidation conditions to study the formation, composition, and physical properties of secondary aerosols
  • Explore the linkages between aerosol chemical composition and their health and climate effects, including oxidative potential (reactive oxygen species) and radiative forcing
  • Analyze the spatial-temporal variability of atmospheric particles and gases in the boundary layer, with emphasis on urban air pollution, lower-tropospheric ozone, and transport processes.
  • Apply machine learning and data-driven approaches to interpret complex atmospheric datasets and enhance source apportionment, process-level understanding, and prediction of aerosol gas interactions
