Research
In my doctoral research I carried out a field and modeling study of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.
In my current postdoctoral research, I work on high-resolution numerical modeling (using WRF and WRF/Chem) of the transport, and the downwind impacts upon chemistry, clouds, and radiative transfer, of black carbon and other air pollutants from the Ganges Basin in India , focusing on what happens when mountain wind systems in the Himalaya lift the pollutants into the upper troposphere. I am also planning future experimental research in the Himalaya.
