Ultra-Sensitive Molecular Spectroscopy for Applications in Atmospheric Chemistry

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

We develop new ultra-sensitive cavity-enhanced spectroscopic methods to address existing measurement needs in atmospheric and climate science. These methods involve laser sources, such as quantum cascade lasers and optical frequency combs to make high accuracy measurements of trace materials and for quantitative measurements of line shape parameters to support remote sensing. Recently, we have been developing an optical cavity ring-down spectrometer to probe radiocarbon dioxide (14CO2) transitions in the mid-infrared spectral reg...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
