Research Interests<\/h3>\n

My overall research goal is to advance our understanding of ocean chemistry and its role in the\u00a0current age where human activity is significantly impacting climate, environment, and ocean health. My\u00a0research focuses on the development of in situ optical sensors to achieve this goal. Developing in situ\u00a0sensors creates the possibility to sample continuously, enabling greater spatial and temporal resolution\u00a0than discrete measurements. Shifting from a discrete sampling approach, which provides only a temporal\u00a0snapshot of the ocean, to an in situ sensing approach will allow measurements to be made at the same\u00a0time and spatial scales as biogeochemical processes.\u00a0I develop new classes of sensors and sensing platforms for chemical measurements in\u00a0oceanography and atmospheric science. Through an understanding of ocean science, I conceptualize,\u00a0design, and lead the engineering aspects of sensor development. My research crosses the boundaries of\u00a0engineering, physics, and chemistry and results in collaborations with diverse groups of ocean scientists.\u00a0Much of my research focuses on the measurement of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).<\/p>\n\t
