Assistant Professor @ UCLA. Physical and Atmospheric Chemistry. I love a weird radical. All views my own.
My near 3-yo wants to watch only lion king 2 (which he calls "the regular lion kind with Kiara). He will not watch lion king 1. Only lion king 2. We watch it on average 1x per day.

Year round amazing weather is an underrated joy of raising kids in LA, but let me tell you, there are like 5 indoor activities in the whole city and on a rainy day every single one of them is a mob scene.

the transition from programs/files/folders as the default mode of interacting with an OS to an app-based model where most things are stored on the cloud has already made things hard- students often have no idea that files are organized in directories, and that you can navigate that structure

If you or someone you know are looking to do a postdoc in our areas of interest (organic oxidation chemistry in environmental chambers, spectroscopic studies of atmospheric intermediates, indoor air impacts of smoke) let's chat!

My kid's daycare seems to play this song like 2-6 times a day every day

Our RAPID grant to study the air quality impacts of the January 2025 wildfires is suspended effective immediately. We have another NSF grant that has been in limbo for months that I assume will stay there until this is resolved.

The absolute hold that the chicken banana song has on my 2 year old
