My research deals with the mathematical description of multiphase processes in the atmosphere and in the human body. For example, we want to understand how particles form in the atmosphere, how they affect Atmospheric Chemistry, and which chemical reactions they trigger in the body. Therefore, my research group develops computer models and conducts laboratory experiments with the goal of understanding the relevant chemical and physical processes and applying this knowledge to offer solutions to our leading questions.

Ph.D. Students
Hyungu Kang
Research: I study the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) with oxidation flow reactors and mass spectrometry in collaboration with the Hwajin Kim group at Seoul National University. I will be using numerical methods to research multiphase chemistry in aerosols.

Zhen Zhao
Research: I am a visiting student from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. I work on environmentally-persistent free radicals (EPFR) in PM2.5 in China. In Mainz, I investigate EPFR in indoor air and perform laboratory experiments elucidating the chemical mechanisms that govern the health effects of aerosol particles.
