This research investigates the formation and chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol particles, particularly secondary organic aerosols formed through oxidation of organic gases. Using a large controlled atmospheric chamber, the work studies how environmental conditions influence aerosol chemistry, improving understanding of air pollution, climate impacts, cloud formation, and human health effects.

This research examines how older adults manage indoor environmental conditions while aging in place. It highlights the importance of “adaptive opportunities,” such as adjusting surroundings or behavior, and identifies barriers like mobility and cost. The goal is to develop practical strategies to improve comfort, health, and independence for aging populations at home.
