Project Description

My current project focuses on understanding the biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted from the Alaskan boreal forest and their role in contributing to new particle formation. Specifically, I use gas chromatography and mass spectrometry methods to identify the composition, concentrations, diurnal profiles, and oxidation processes of these organic compounds.
