Broadly, my research interests involve experimental and theoretical electromagnetic scattering applied to the characterization of man-made and naturally occurring aerosol particles. Through my work in this area, I have pioneered a digital holographic method to image single particles on-the-fly in an aerosol stream. The success of this work has prompted a new large-scale study to characterize atmospheric coarse mode aerosol (CMA) particle morphology. Consisting primarily of mineral dust and biological particles, CMAs are an important component of the global aerosol and quantitative knowledge of the particle morphology is greatly needed. As the absence of such knowledge accounts for major uncertainties in global climate models, this work has promise to substantially improve our understanding for aerosols' role in climate change. I also have extensive experience with laser optics, electronics, advanced mathematical methods, and high-performance computing.
