Education

2014 PhD, Atmospheric Sciences, University of Arizona
2012 MS, Atmospheric Sciences, University of Arizona
2007 MS, Physics, Bangalore University
2005 BS, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, St. Joseph's College (affiliated with Bangalore University)

Research Interests

Studying aerosol-cloud interactions, and impacts of atmospheric aerosols on climate and regional air quality. I analyze ground and aircraft observations to understand chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere that dictate the formation of aerosols and their interaction with cloud droplets.

Teaching Interests

EAPS 36000: Great Issues in Science and Society
EAPS 22100: Survey of Atmospheric Science
EAPS 52100: Atmospheric Chemistry
