  • Biographical Description

  • I am an associate professor at the University of Denver in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.  My research focuses on atmospheric aerosols (small particles suspended in air), including their roles in various environmental processes and human health concerns.  We deploy instrumentation to field sites for in-situ ambient monitoring and also work to develop and characterize new analytical techniques.  Several of my current projects revolve around the detection of biological aerosols (e.g. fungal spores, bacteria, pollen) with the goal of understanding how these particles may contribute to cloud formation and climate cycles.
