We are looking for a Ph.D. student interested in studying the impacts of human and natural processes on atmospheric chemistry through field observations, lab studies, and chemical transport modeling. Students will use advanced mass spectrometry methods to make novel measurements of important reactive gases (e.g., ozone, volatile organic compounds) over land surfaces such as cities, forests, wetlands, and croplands. Other projects include lab studies to probe key reactions at the surface-atmosphere interface, and the development of atmospheric chemical transport models (3D global and 1D vertical column) to advance predictions of gases that have strong chemical effects on air quality and climate.
