I spent 20 years at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories studying soot chemistry and diagnostics. Soot science is highly multi-disciplinary. My graduate work was on laser diagnostics and surface science, and my postdoctoral work was on atmospheric chemistry. I am now a faculty member at University of Colorado Boulder, where I combine my background in materials and surface science, laser diagnostics, combustion science, and atmospheric chemistry to develop an understanding soot formation during combustion and its evolution and detection in the atmosphere.
