Research interests

My research at atmospheric sceince was focused on the inorganic composition of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), mainly in developing countries such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and Kenya, where expansive economic development in combination with increasing population numbers constitutes a growing threat to air quality. To elucidate the potential impact of air pollution on the environment, I have studied elemental concentrations and pathways in freshwater lakes and biologic recipients (“biomonitors”) at different rural sites in northern Vietnam.

I also worked with trace element analysis and method development: X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF and TXRF) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS).
