I am a Senior Research Scientist of Atmospheric Chemistry in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science. I am also with MIT’s Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate (PAOC), and Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS).


MAKE-OUR-PLANET-GREAT-AGAIN: I am honored to be selected by the MOPGA Initiative of French Government to lead a research project in France. My project, EUROACE, started November 2018, is to study the roles of atmospheric aerosols in climate system and environment. Please find my new contact in France from the left panel.


My research interests include atmospheric aerosols and clouds, tropospheric chemical processes, and the roles of aerosol-cloud interaction in atmospheric chemistry, precipitation, and climate dynamics. I also study climate impacts of anthropogenic activities that alter atmospheric compositions or change the Earth’s surface properties or energy budget. My researches have been generously supported by NSF, NASA, EPA, NOAA, Ford Motor Company, the Singapore National Research Foundation through the Center of Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), and by many other government agencies including US DOE as well as many industrial sponsors through the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change.
