I am a senior research fellow in the
Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group at Harvard.
The goal of my research is to understand how short-lived
gases and particles in the atmosphere interact with climate.
For example, I study how 21st-century climate change
could affect the intensity or duration of smog episodes.
I also examine how declining particle concentrations
over the United States could amplify the warming due to
greenhouse gases.
I investigate changes in atmospheric composition
during the last ice age and how these changes could account for
the observed trends in methane.
In all these studies, I use global models of the atmosphere
together with observations from the present-day or distant past.
I currently mentor these students/ postdocs
at Harvard:
Tom Brieder,
Shannon Koplitz,
Lee Murray,
Amos P.K. Tai,
Jinping Tang,
Xu Yue
and Lei Zhu.
Past students/ postdocs include
Rynda Hudman (now at EPA),
Eric Leibensperger (now at MIT),
Shiliang Wu (now at Michigan Tech),
Dominick Spracklen (now at Leeds),
Julie Sygiel, and Moeko Yoshitomi.
I collaborate with
Daniel Jacob
and Jennifer Logan.

Publications pages,
