Her research interests focus on biosphere-atmosphere interactions across a range of spatial and temporal scales. This includes improved understanding of primary emissions and their fate in the atmosphere, changes in atmospheric chemistry on climatological time scales, and the role of the biosphere in regional climate change. She is the recipient of the University of Michigan Henry Russel Award 2013 and the American Geophysical Union Atmospheric Sciences section Ascent Award 2015. She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, USA (1994) and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA (2003). She was a member of the NAS on The Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research in 2016 and is currently an editor for the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.
