Research Areas & Aesearch Interest

  • Bioaerosol
  • Ice nucleation
  • Aerosol-cloud interaction

My current research focuses on the characterization of bioaerosols and fluorescent aerosol particles based on real-time data measured with the SwisensPoleno Jupiter at the TROPOS research site Melpitz. Particular attention is paid to the ability of the particles to act as an ice nucleating particle (INP).
