Research topics

• Trends and variability of atmospheric chemical composition and aerosol particles: Global and long-term observation of atmospheric composition by using instrumented passenger aircraft as observation platforms; investigation of spatial-temporal variability and atmospheric processing of tropospheric aerosol
• Optical properties of tropospheric aerosol: Investigation of multi-spectral aerosol optical properties, in particular the aerosol absorption and extinction coefficients of mixed aerosols; studies on aerosol absorption coefficient, black carbon and mineral dust
• Development and validation of aerosol measurement techniques: Development and testing of novel methods for the determination of the aerosol absoprtion and extinction coefficients, complex refractive index from aerosol absorption measurements at multiple wavelengths
