About me

I received my Ph.D. in Geophysics at the University of Cologne in 2008 and joined the Research Centre Jülich in 2018. My main field of Research is the formation and transport of atmospheric particles and their interaction with the gas phase and clouds. I participated in the Aerosol Research Focus (AFS) of the BMBF and in several projects of the environmental agency of Northrhine-Westfalia (LANUV) and the German Environmental Agency (UBA). I worked in the EU projects GEMS, PASODOBLE, MACC (I-III), CAMS, and CAMS2 on air quality forecast and assimilation of chemical data. A special field of interest is the parameterization of physical processes and development of numerical schemes for chemistry transport models, including the parallelization of numerical codes, and the implementation of air quality forecasting and analysis systems.
