Although our current understanding of urban air quality comes largely from studies conducted in North America and Western Europe, the bulk of today’s urban growth is occurring in developing Asian and African megacities. The overarching goal of our group's research is to explore light-induced chemistry (photochemistry) that may be promoted in the metal- and soot-rich atmospheric particulate matter (aerosol) typical of developing urban regions and industrially influenced areas, and thus improve our understanding of the processes that govern air quality in these understudied environments.

尽管我们目前对城市空气质量的了解主要来自于在北美和西欧进行的研究，但今天的城市增长主要发生在亚洲和非洲的发展中特大城市。我们小组研究的总体目标是探索光诱导化学(光化学)，这种化学可以在发展中的城市地区和受工业影响的地区典型的富含金属和烟尘的大气颗粒物(气溶胶)中得到推广，从而提高我们对这些未被研究的环境中控制空气质量的过程的理解。
