I then spent two years at the Center studying reactions of chlorine dioxide and ozone in non-aqueous solutions and on surfaces. I joined the field of Atmospheric Chemistry during my 2000-2002 NATO/NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship at McGill University, where I investigated the oxidation of atmospheric elemental mercury. During 2003-2005, I studied the optical properties and homogeneous freezing of supercooled water aerosols as a Research Associate at the University of Waterloo. Between 2005 and 2013, I studied the formation, chemical and physical transformations, and impacts of atmospheric aerosols as an Assistant Research Scientist at Texas A&M University. Starting in 2013, I am an Assistant Professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology. My current research focuses on transformations of atmospheric pollutants, including aerosol and mercury.
