Nano-CAVa

The outgoing phase of the project at PSI is completed and the return phase at University of Helsinki started.

Scientist from around the world studying particle formation gathered in Helsinki for the International Conference on Nucleation and Atmopheric Aerosols. Results from Nano-CAVa were presented on tuesday.

I got the chance to join the return trip of Akademic Thresnikov from Cape Town to Bremerhaven and conduct aerosol measurements onboard the ship. The trip was an extension of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Experiment.

 

This year the CLOUD11 campaign concentrated on particle formation both from biogenic and anthropogenic vapours.

First time attending the meeting of American Association for Aerosol Research. I will present at the special session: Effects of NO_x and SO₂ on BVOC Oxidation and Organic Aerosol Formation.

We drove up with the train to 3450m a.s.l. to install measurements at Jungfraujoch High-Alpine Research Station in Swiss Alps.

My article about early growth of clusters and nano-particles was published in Nature Communications today!

We have been conducting experiments in the CLOUD aerosol chamber at CERN to find out how particles nucleate and form from different kinds of vapours. CLOUD10 campaign lasted from Sep-Dec 2015.

I have arrived at Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland and ready start my 2-year secondment here.
