Prof. Dr. Alfred Wiedensohler
Head of the Department “Experimental Aerosol & Cloud Microphysics” at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research. He also leads the World Calibration Center for Aerosol Physics in the frame of the WMO-GAW program. He is Professor at the University of Leipzig, Institute of Meteorology and Guest Professor at the Peking University, Dept. of Environmental Science and Engineering, Beijing, China. Presently, he is “Editor-In-Chief” of the international journal “Atmospheric Environment”. He published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles in the field of atmospheric science, aerosol physics and instrumentation. He received the award “Highly Cited Researcher” from Thomson Reuters in 2014. Paolo Laj, PhD Director of Laboratoire de Glaciologie and Géophysique de l’Environnement of University of Grenoble-Alpes and CNRS, in France. He is the chair of the Scientific Expert Group on Aerosol of WMO and guest Professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland. His work mainly deals with observation of aerosol properties in particular from remote areas. He published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles in the field of atmospheric science, aerosol/cloud interaction and instrumentation. Radovan Krejci, PhD Senior researcher at Department of Applied Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry, Stockholm University, Sweden. His work in a field of atmospheric science focuses especially on physical and chemical properties pf atmospheric aerosols and clouds and processes controlling their behavior and evolution. He has published more than 60 peer review articles. Olga L. Mayol-Bracero, PhD Professor in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Puerto Rico – Río Piedras, a member of the International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (iCACGP) and a former member of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) scientific steering committee. Her research activities include the identification of sources influencing tropical regions, the role of organic aerosols in cloud condensation nuclei properties and the impact of aerosols on climate and ecosystems. She has been involved in large aerosol field projects such as INDOEX, LBA EUSTACH, LBA CLAIRE, LBA SMOCC, RICO, ICE-T and Fennec. Presently, she is the PI of the NSF funded project Puerto Rico African Dust and Cloud Study (PRADACS) and the manager of Cape San Juan Atmospheric Aerosols Observatory. She is author of over 30 peer- reviewed publications. Marcos Andrade, PhD Director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric Physics (LFA) at UMSA and PI of the Chacaltaya GAW station. Since the foundation of the LFA he worked extensively in total ozone and ultraviolet radiation subjects in Bolivia. At present, working in subjects related to atmospheric composition in the Andes with especial emphasis in aerosol and gas transport to the region and evaluation of climate models in Bolivia. Griša Močnik, PhD Director of research and development of Aerosol d.o.o. – the developer and producer of the Aethalometer, the instrument for measurement of black carbon. He has been a principal investigator, researcher and scientific advisor in numerous development and research projects in the field of aerosol instrumentation and laser devices. His work is mostly focused on the development of filter based instrumentation for research of aerosol optical properties and application of this instrumentation – in particular measurement of black carbon and other light absorbing carbonaceous aerosols. His current research includes source apportionment of carbonaceous aerosol for local studies and in context of long range transport; vertical profiles of primary combustion products; and methods for emission measurements. He served as a member of the United Nations ECE expert group on Black Carbon. Paulo Artaxo, PhD. Professor of environmental physics at the University of São Paulo. He has worked on aerosol properties in Amazonia for the last 30 years, studying aerosol optical properties, composition and effects on clouds and precipitation. He also studied urban aerosols with source apportionment studies on several urban areas in Brazil, including São Paulo. He is the chairmen on the LBA (The Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia) Science Steering Committee and helps in the coordination of several large experiments in Amazonia such as GoAmazon, ATTO Tower, AMAZE, NGEE-Tropics and others. Noemi Perez, PhD. Post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research, Spanish National Research Council (IDAEA-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain. Her work focuses mainly on atmospheric geochemistry and air quality studies, and is responsible for aerosol monitoring at the ACTRIS-GAW site Montseny. She has been involved in more than 20 national and international research projects and contracts, which have produced more than 40 peer-review scientific publications. |
