Research interests

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics with focus on atmospheric chemistry and climate changes due to human activities and on gas/particle interactions: Modeling of homogeneous and heterogeneous tropospheric chemistry and aerosol formation. Study of the changes in the oxidizing power of the atmosphere and the aerosol composition due to human activities and their interactions with climate.
