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 combines experimental and theoretical approaches, aiming to compare experimental results to the output from models and then update the theory based on the experimental findings.

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie global postdoc fellow at Harvard University & University of Copenhagen, where I am investigating influences on stratospheric ozone by using both theoretical and experimental techniques in the form of laboratory halogen kinetics/spectroscopy, 3D chemistry-climate modelling of volcanic eruptions & quantum chemical calculations.
