Research Interests

My research focuses on the chemical interactions between atmosphere and bisophere, and I inverstigate the exchanges of reactive trace gases, like volatiles and NOx, in the ecosystem and how that affect air quality and climate. I integrated the research methods including lab experiments, in-situ field measurements, satellite, and modeling from different scales to understand these topics.
