Chemistry and physics and the atmosphere with a focus on tropospheric halogen chemistry, chemistry-cloud-climate interactions and multiphase chemistry (gas, aerosol, cloud droplets).


Biography

After studying atmospheric physics at the Univ of Mainz, Germany I moved to the Max-Planck-Institute in Mainz, Germany to do my PhD in atmospheric chemistry. After three years as postdoc at the MPI and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, I lead a research group at the Univ of Heidelberg, Germany for three years before moving to UEA in January 2007. Over the last ten years, I have been developing and applying numerical models to study chemical and physical processes in the troposphere. Most of my work is related to halogen chemistry (e.g., in the marine boundary layer, the polar regions, volcanic plumes and salt lakes) and interactions between the gas and particulate phases.
