My main research interest is the combination <strong>of</strong> atmospheric observations with complex three-dimensional<br />
models to get a comprehensive picture <strong>of</strong> the state <strong>of</strong> the atmosphere and its constituents. My focus is on the<br />
formation and transport <strong>of</strong> aerosol particles in the atmosphere, particularly in the planetary boundary layer.<br />
This includes the vertical distribution <strong>of</strong> aerosols and other pollutants in the troposphere and the long-term<br />
effects <strong>of</strong> persistent organic pollutants, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals.<br />
