I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto in Engineering Physics, class of 0T2.

• During my last two years, I worked for Prof. James Drummond in experimental atmospheric physics.
• I participated in the SAFARI-2000 field campaign to validate the MOPITT instrument on the Terra satellite. Our instrument, which flew on a NASA U-2 (ER-2) aircraft, measured carbon monoxide, which is emitted from forest fires and industrial sources.
• I also worked on the calibration and testing of the MAESTRO and ACE-FTS instruments, which were launched on the SCISAT-1 satellite in August 2003. These instruments are primarily observing the chemistry of the ozone layer.

I completed my Master's in Applied Mathematics at Harvard in 2004.
I completed my Ph.D in Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard in 2007.
I was a post-doctoral fellow in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard, continuing the research I did as a graduate student.

• I worked in the research group of Prof. Jim Anderson to better understand the Earth's climate.
• We were developing the prototype of a small satellite to make benchmark measurements of thermal radiance leaving the Earth.
• Once the satellite is launched, it should be able to help diagnose, quantify and predict climate change.

I am currently research staff at the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

• My research focuses on developing instruments to observe the Earth's atmosphere and to analyze the measurements to gain a better understanding of climate change, pollution and the Earth system.
