Research activities

Heterogeneous Chemistry of Atmospheric Ices

For the past 12 years, my research has been broadly distributed around topics related to heterogeneous chemistry and of atmospheric particulate matter.  After graduating from Pacific Lutheran University, I worked at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO to develop and evaluate heterogeneous photocatalytic techniques for the destruction of toxic waste, both in gas-phase and aqueous waste streams.  In my doctoral research, I designed and evaluated a sampling inlet to isolate and analyze atmospheric aerosol particles.  I also participated in field measurements of atmospheric ozone uptake over the arctic snowpack at Summit, Greenland.  My postdoctoral work included laboratory experiments to evaluate possible heterogeneous reactions of atomic oxygen on meteoritic dust and water ice surfaces representative of particles present in the terrestrial middle atmosphere.  In each case, I have enjoyed finding opportunities to work across the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines to apply tools of chemistry to environmental, atmospheric and planetary sciences.
