    From a start measuring air quality for industry through graduate studies in atmospheric chemistry near the Earth's surface, a post-doc focussed on stratospheric ozone, and a NASA career in global composition modeling and data analysis, I have always valued research near the interface of observations and theoretical modeling.  Data from remote sensing, in situ, and the laboratory gives us the opportunity to view new things, and comparisons to models, either in agreement or not, enables us to apply the research to understanding problems such as air quality, ozone loss, and global warming for everyone's potential benefit.

    Brief Bio

    From a start measuring air quality for industry through graduate studies in atmospheric chemistry near the Earth's surface, a post-doc focussed on stratospheric ozone, and a NASA career in global composition modeling and data analysis, I have always valued research near the interface of observations and theoretical modeling.  Data from remote sensing, in situ, and the laboratory gives us the opportunity to view new things, and comparisons to models, either in agreement or not, enables us to apply the research to understanding problems such as air quality, ozone loss, and global warming for everyone's potential benefit.
