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理解主要来自在北美和西欧进行的研究，但当今城市增长的大部分都在发展亚洲和非洲大型危机中。我们小组研究的总体目标是探索在金属和烟灰充足的大气颗粒物（Aerosol）中可以促进的光引起的化学（光化学），典型地发展了城市地区和工业影响的地区，从而提高了我们对这些理解环境中空气质量的过程的理解。
