Meine Forschung widmet sich der mathemischen Beschreibung von Multiphasenprozessen in der Atmosphäre und dem menschlichen Körper. Wir wollen beispielsweise verstehen wie Feinstaub entsteht, wie er die Chemie der Atmosphäre beeinflusst, oder welche chemischen Reaktionen diese Partikel im Körper in Gang setzen. In meiner Forschungsgruppe versuchen wir mittels Computermodellen und Laborexperimenten die relevanten chemischen und physikalischen Prozesse zu ergründen um auf unsere übergeordneten Fragen Rückschlüsse ziehen zu können.

Dr. Anna Backes
My research focuses on proteins, particularly airborne allergens, and their modification through chemical reactions with air pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide. Additionally, I explore how protein modifications arise in the human body during oxidative stress. My work combines laboratory experiments with kinetic modeling to obtain a detailed understanding of the underlying reaction kinetics.

Dr. Lucia Iezzi
My research focuses on the multiphase chemistry of aerosol particles. Specifically, I aim at understanding the complex interaction between aerosol components, such as transition metals and reactive oxygen species, with nitrogen oxides and iodine species. I use laboratory experiments to explore this interaction, and kinetic modelling to reveal the mechanism of the underlying chemical reactions.

Dr. Zhiqiang Zhang
My research focuses on the kinetic modelling of secondary organic aerosols. In particular, I explore non-equilibrium effects of gas-particle partitioning into secondary organic aerosols using the model KM-GAP and plan to transfer the gained knowledge into chemical transport models.
