As an undergraduate in the lab, I perform many various tasks
ranging from performing experiemtents to hiking to Mellon to
get supplies or photocopy articles. My main interest is figuring
out what my main interests are.

My research now focuses on the mechanism of nitrate formation via the peroxy radicals (RO2) + NO reaction, which is very important when evaluate the peroxy radicals influence on ozone production in the atmosphere. I have finished building the model for the nitrate yields by master equation based on statistical mechanics with the Matlab. I'm building the experimental system based on the model results to check if our model is correct and to revise our model.
