Current Research Interests 
and Projects		 Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling
I am currently working in the BMBF-sponsored Junior Research Group ("Nachwuchsgruppe") SAPHIRE of Dr. Mark G. Lawrence

My main research areas are:

Development and evaluation of chemical mechanisms for the atmospheric oxidation of  Volatile Organic Compounds(VOC), particularly isoprene. 
Boxmodel studies and implementation of condensed chemical mechanisms in global 3-D Chemistry-Transport Models (CTM).
Evaluation of the model with various observations (surface, airborne, sondes, satellite).

See also my personal SAPHIRE page.

Other Scientific Interests
Use and usability of satellite data, renewable energies, science of global change, policy and economics of sustainable development.

MATCH-MPIC Evaluation Pages

Comparison plots from the evaluation of the global model MATCH-MPIC can be found here.

Feedback is welcome.
MATCH-MPIC global and regional species budgets

On this page species budgets including physical and chemical removal mechanisms as calculated with the 3D model MATCH-MPIC are listed. The budget separate transport processes (large scale and parameterized) as well as dry and wet deposition (washout) and tendency estimate for each reaction (source and loss reactions) of a large suite of species relevant to ozone and hydrocarbon chemistry. The budgets are calculated for several sub-regions of the troposphere (e.g., tropics, upper troposphere, both hemispheres, continental and marine regions)

This could also be usefull to experimentalists who are studying a particular reaction. Feedback is again welcome.

My PhD Thesis
             (as html)		 "Tropospheric Photochemistry of Ozone, its Precursors and the Hydroxyl Radical: A 3D-Modeling Study Considering Non-Methane Hydrocarbons", University of Mainz, Germany, 2001.

You can access my thesis in several ways:

  • Download or view the pdf file (15 Mb, note that the file gets very large when printing, so I recommend using the postscript files).
  • Download and print the postscript file  (10 Mb, gzipped)
  • or color pages (double sided) and b/w pages separately (gzipped postscript, ca. 5 Mb each).
  • Browse through the thesis in the html-version.
Talks (Vorträge) Promotions-Vortrag (in german)

Presentation given at the institute's seminar (in english)
