Abstract
My research to date has been focused on modeling aerosol microphysics, nucleation, early stages of particle growth, and gas-phase oxidation chemistry. I have applied these skills to variable environments, including in smoke plumes, the Southern Great Plains of the U.S., within the Amazon and a ponderosa pine forest, in the upper tropical troposphere, and over the remote oceans. I anticipate graduating next spring from Colorado State University with a PhD in Atmospheric Science and will be available starting the summer of 2020. To date, I have worked with a number of box models that focus on aerosol microphysics and/or gas-phase chemistry as well as the GEOS-Chem global/regional chemical transport model coupled to a microphysical module (TOMAS). I currently am seeking a postdoctoral position either in an academic setting or government lab but am also open to consulting positions. My main goal as a postdoc or similar position is to learn new sets of tools and areas of expertise, complimenting my existing skill set. New skills that I’m interested in include, but are not limited to, new types of models or modeling techniques (such as inverse modeling, machine learning) and new regions of the globe (such as the stratosphere, urban environments, high latitude free troposphere).
