My work seeks to discover the unknowns in atmospheric chemistry by investigating reactions, species, and mechanisms of atmospheric chemistry that has an impact on human health, the climate, and the environment, with an interest in both outdoor and indoor air. My research in atmospheric modelling aims to compare experimental results to the output from models and then update the theory based on the experimental findings.
I have used atmospheric models spanning from highly detailed chemistry box models to global Earth system models (a 3D chemical-transport model and a 3D chemistry-climate model) elucidating different scientific questions, i.e., impacts of indoor activities on indoor air quality, influences on stratospheric ozone from explosive volcanic eruptions, and the atmospheric impact of new chemical mechanisms.
My current work in the Section for Atmospheric Emissions and Modelling is part of the EU-funded project ArcSolution, where I am modelling atmospheric transport of long-lived pollution, such as PFAS, into the Arctic region in a changing climate.
