Research Interests

• Atmospheric composition and climate change: natural processes & anthropogenic pollution. 
• Atmospheric oxidation efficiency:  trace gases and free radicals: HOx, NOx, O3, halogens, hydrocarbons. 
• Atmospheric aerosol: gas-to-particle conversion, gas-particle interactions. 
• Potential health effects of trace gases and aerosol. 
• Aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS): size-dependent organic mass fraction of atmospheric aerosol. 
• Chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (CIMS): trace gases and free radicals in the marine atmosphere.
