• Research area: mesoscale meteorological and air quality modeling in studying the potential of innovative strategies for improving the ozone air quality in non-attainment regions, and in climate- and energy-related research.

• Research interests include: 1) Impacts of urban heat islands on regional meteorology and air quality, 2) Impacts of surface properties changes on atmospheric processes, 3) Impacts of uniform and space-varying VOC and NOx emission control strategies on ozone production, 4) Modeling tools and improving the parameterization of surface processes in mesoscale models, 5) Meteorological models urbanization, and 6) Micrometeorological effects of changes in surface albedo and vegetative cover.

• Past and current sponsors include: DOE, EPA, NASA, SCE, LADWP, CIEE, UCS, TAF.

• Professional affiliation: American Meteorological Society, Air & Waste Management Association, American Geophysical Union.
