  • Modeling of atmospheric transport, transformation and deposition of trace species

  • Development of direct measurement techniques for estimation of the dry deposition of mercury and other trace species

Biography

After obtaining a BS degree in meteorology back in 1984, I worked as a forecast meteorologist for seven years before beginning doctoral studies within the AOSS Department.  My doctoral research and studies focused on the topic of air pollution meteorology.  Over the past two decades, my research has continued in this area, as I have worked on a number of projects related to the emission, tranport, tranformation and fate of various pollutants.

As noted, a significant portion of my work is also tied to teaching and education research.  In addition to teaching courses in general synoptic meteorology and weather analysis/forecasting, I also teach two courses for the broader College of Engineering (Engin 110 and Engin 290) community.  Engin 110 provides incoming freshmen with an introduction into various career paths open to students, as well as assists these students in determining which curricular and co-curricular activities exist to help them pursue these career paths.  Engin 290 is a course which has been designed to help College of Engineering transfer students transition from their previous institutions and into the University of Michigan.

In recent years, my teaching activities have lead me to participate in research which is focused on obtaining a better understanding of how students learn, such that I can provide better support and instruction in the years to come.
