  • Ph. D., Physics, University of Iowa, 1991
  • M.S., Physics, Addis Ababa University, 1983
  • BS: Physics Education, Addis Ababa University, 1977

Areas of Research

  • Spectroscopy of Transition State Dynamics
  • Laser Spectroscopy and Photodynamics
  • Electronic Structure Calculations
  • Metal-ion chemistry within clusters, formation and chemistry of nanoparticles

Current Research Focus:

Focus: Characterizing organic and inorganic acids and aerosol in the atmosphere emitted by Biomass burning and the study their impact on climate.

Negative Ion proton transfer mass spectrometry to Measure: a) Acidities of gas-phase acids; b) Rate of H-transfer; c) Water cluster characterization. The goal ito get estimates of the free energy of hydration of carboxylate ions, and determination of the effective gas phase acidity of hydrated carboxylate ions. (NSF- Funded

Investigate vibrational overtone initiated photodissociation processes that are significant sources of atmospheric radicals using cavity ring down spectroscopy. The vibrational O-H overtone absorption cross sections of carboxylic acids and other OH-containing species are necessary quantities to calculate the photochemical reaction rate constant (J) for reactions initiated by the excitation of the O-H overtone. (NOAA, NSF Funded

Measurement of the Henry's law coefficient and first order loss rate of Isocyanic Acid in Water Solutions-Solubility studies (NOAA-Funded

Measurement of optical properties of biomass aerosols using cavity ring down spectroscopy ( DoD-Current Funding)
