Information

Bio

I am currently working as a Scientist III at the NCAR Atmospheric Chemistry Observation and Modeling laboratory on air quality modeling. In particular, my research is aimed at understanding and improving the representation of atmospheric aerosols, and their retroactions on regional photochemistry and meteorology. My work has led to significant insights into the sources, formation and removal pathways of organic aerosols, which are not only toxic pollutants but are also one of the major sources of uncertainty in climate models. The fundamental challenge in organic aerosol research is the range of scales that has to be considered: from molecular scales at which hundreds of thousand of chemical reactions occur, to urban scales relevant to air quality, to regional and global scales relevant to climate change. Thus, I have been using explicit chemical models such as GECKO-A that focus on the molecular scale to identify and develop fundamental insights on processes that are important in controlling the distribution and characteristics of organic aerosols, and to develop computationally-efficient representations of these processes for inclusion in larger-scale regional, and global models. I contribute to the development and evaluation of community models used for chemical weather predictions (WRF-Chem), climate (CAM-Chem), and process modeling studies (GECKO-A).

I obtained my Ph.D. in October 2005 from the Ecole Polytechnique in France where I worked in the Laboratory of Dynamic Meteorology with Dr. Vautard on air quality and aerosol modelling at the urban scale. Then for 2 years (until December 2007) I was a postdoctoral student in the Advanced Studies Program at NCAR working on modeling of aerosol properties and processes in highly polluted conditions such as wildfires and megacities.

Research Interest:

Process modeling of organic aerosols to identify parameters controlling their formation and lifetime and build parameterizations for use in chemistry-climate models (e.g (i) parameterizing the multiday growth of SOA from various precursors, mixtures and NOx conditions, (ii) developing water solubility parametrizations for oxidation intermediates involved in SOA formation, (iii) assessing the role of gas-phase and particle-phase photolysis on SOA; (iv) Estimating the SOA direct and indirect removals).
Aerosol regional and global modeling studies: Characterizing the composition and origin of atmospheric aerosols in polluted and clean conditions by improving the representation of emission sources, organic aerosol formation processes, removals, and interactions between aerosols, gases, and radiation in models.
Studying air quality under extremely polluted conditions i.e. megacities (MILAGRO-Mexico-City, MEGAPOLI-Paris), heat wave episodes, wildfire events, volcanic eruptions, and testing the limitations of current parameterizations.
Providing 3D and box modeling expertise during field projects (MILAGRO, BEACHON, NOMADSS) to help interpret aerosol measurements and test new model parameterizations.
Contributing to the development and evaluation of community models: process (GECKO-A), regional (WRF-Chem and the European model CHIMERE) and global (CAM-Chem, GEOS-Chem). Providing user’s support and tutorial activities for WRF-Chem.
