Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree in planetary science at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and then spent six months in Washington, D.C. working as a geoscience and public policy intern. I completed my PhD in atmospheric chemistry at Harvard University, using models and observations to understand pollution in the Arctic atmosphere. In 2012, I moved to the University of Wollongong for a Vice Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry, where I remained through 2024. In 2025, I began a position as Professor and Associate Dean Learning & Teaching in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University.Personal info
