University of Michigan Biological Station and Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering

I completed a six-month exchange at the University of Michigan at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) and the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLaSP). During my time in Michigan, I participated in a five-week field campaign at the PROPHET (Program for Research on Oxidants: Photochemistry, Emissions & Transport) tower at UMBS with scientists from 22 other research institutes where I took a vertically resolved micrometeorological measurements to assimilate into a 1D chemical transport model. During my time at CLaSP I worked in the group of Allison Steiner on updating a chemistry-canopy model to improve our ability to model gas-phase chemistry during the 2016 PROPHET campaign and improve our understanding of forest-atmosphere exchange processes. This research exchange was an incredibly valuable opportunity for me to network with scientists from other institutions in the United States and Europe and the work I conducted will lead to at least two publications for me.
