Research Impact
My work explores the fascinating world of plant communication through volatile organic compounds and their atmospheric fate. Plants emit hundreds of compounds that serve as chemical messengers - from the citrus aroma when peeling an orange to the distinctive pine scent in coniferous forests. These compounds don't just create pleasant scents; they play crucial roles in plant defense, pollinator attraction, and atmospheric chemistry.
Through online and offline mass spectrometric techniques, I investigate how these emissions change under climate stress and their impact on air quality and climate. As climate change brings earlier springs, severe droughts, and insect outbreaks, understanding how plants respond through altered VOC emissions becomes increasingly critical for predicting future air quality and climate scenarios.
