My research primarily focuses on understanding atmospheric dynamics within the planetary boundary layer (PBL), with a particular emphasis on turbulence, air quality, and their interactions with climate change. My methodological approach uniquely combines high-resolution observational data from state-of-the-art remote sensing instruments (e.g., Raman Lidar, Doppler Lidar, and Ceilometers).

Key research areas include:

​

• Planetary Boundary Layer Dynamics: Characterizing turbulence within convective mixed layers through analysis of higher-order statistical moments, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and advanced autocovariance techniques.

​

• Air Quality and Pollution Transportation: Investigating air quality dynamics, particularly ozone and PM2.5 speciation, using ground-based EPA measurements and remote sensing to assess pollution trends and develop mitigation strategies.

​

• Wildfire Smoke Impact: Studying the transport and interaction of wildfire smoke plumes with urban air quality, specifically analyzing Canadian wildfire impacts on the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

​

• Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Leading and participating in large-scale collaborative research initiatives such as JCRDP, involving joint efforts with NOAA and NCASM, and integrating observational, modeling, and social science research.

My research is driven by a commitment to bridging scientific knowledge with practical applications, informing policies and strategies to address critical environmental health challenges.
