Research Interests

My research focuses on advancing the characterization of atmospheric chemical composition through field observations and laboratory simulations, with the goal of understanding its variations in a changing climate. I specialize in ground-based and mobile measurements using state-of-the-art online mass spectrometry techniques, as well as laboratory oxidation experiments to probe the formation and evolution of atmospheric aerosols. I have extensive expertise in operating aerosol mass spectrometers (AMS), aerosol chemical speciation monitors (ACSM), and chemical ionization mass spectrometers (CIMS), applying them across 15 field campaigns and in the laboratory.

Publications

As of May 2026, I have published 30+ peer-reviewed journal articles. Times Cited: 963 and H-index: 17 (web of science); Times Cited: 1196 and H-index: 19 (google scholar).
