Research Statement
Dr. Kille is a scientist with the King Air research aircraft facility. She is interested
in leveraging integrated multi-sensor platforms to describe and understand atmospheric
phenomena. Her past research has focused on the development of passive optical remote
sensing and in situ techniques targeted at understanding the effects of point source
emitters on air quality.
Research Areas
- Trace gas emission fluxes from ground and airborne platforms
- Trace gas source apportionment
- Urban air pollution
