Interests
Sources, atmospheric transformation and sinks of climatically relevant trace gases of the earth’s atmosphere is focus of my research. The impact of trace gases on the formation and transformation of aerosols, the tropospheric oxidant cycle, and greenhouse gas concentrations implies a crucial role in earth system science. Our studies on reactive trace gases and particles and their effects on climate, ecosystems, and human health are based on chemical, physical and biological aspects and methods, and facilitate an integral understanding of the impact of atmospheric multiphase processes on molecular to tropospheric scales.
