Research Interests
  • Assessment of the vertical transport of climate relevant chemical species via Monsoon Systems (TOMCAT 3D CTM).
  • Interannual variablity of the strength of confinement in the Asian Summer Monsoon anticyclone.
  • Impact of stratospheric injection of mineral dust particles for geo-engineering strategies.
  • Improvement of the subModular Earth Submodular SYstem (MESSY) model for a better representation of the interaction between aerosol, clouds and convected chemical species.
  • Application of the Fractional Calculus for a better understanding of atmospheric boundary layer transport.
