While in graduate school, he spent two and a half years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory planning two AVIRIS-NG flight campaigns for methane detection and performing sensitivity analyses to determine gas detection limits of algorithms and spectrometers. During this time, he was also awarded a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF). By developing methods of directly attributing emissions to individual point sources, this research aims to help constrain regional methane sources with potential implications for environmental monitoring and a better understanding of methane’s role in climate.
