RESEARCH INTERESTS
AND EXPERIENCE
My main research interests are focused on atmospheric chemistry. The aim is to
understand the processes that control the budgets of atmospheric aerosols and
gases that play a key role in the context of global climate change and in regional
air quality. The main tools adopted are: 3-D computer models of atmospheric
processes that affect chemical species, and data from both in-situ and remotesensing instruments.
