Aqueous Phase Reactions

Cloud and fog droplets, as well as deliquescent aerosol particles, serve as important reaction media for atmospheric chemistry. We investigate photochemical processes in these aqueous environments, focusing on the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and the transformation of organic compounds.

Our studies examine how light-driven reactions in cloud water and aerosol liquid water produce brown carbon and other light-absorbing species, contributing to our understanding of aerosol-radiation interactions and climate effects.
