Ulrich Pöschl
is heading a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry,
Biogeochemistry Department (M. O. Andreae) in Mainz, Germany. He has studied
chemistry at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, and he has worked
as a postdoctoral fellow, research scientist, group leader, and university
lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Chemistry
and Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (M. J. Molina,
1995 Nobel Laureate); at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Atmospheric
Chemistry Department (P. J. Crutzen, 1995 Nobel Laureate); and at the
Technical University of Munich, Institute of Hydrochemistry (R. Niessner).
His current research and teaching activities are focused on the properties
and interactions of aerosols and their effects on atmospheric chemistry
and physics, climate, and public health (field measurements, laboratory
experiments, and modelling of aerosol particle composition, structure,
reactivity, and water interactions). As the initiator and chief executive
editor of the interactive open access journal Atmospheric Chemistry and
Physics (ACP, www.atmos-chem-phys.org) he has started and established
an innovative and successful initiative for improved scientific publishing
and quality assurance in collaboration with a globally distributed network
of co-editors. Moreover, he serves as the president of the Atmospheric
Sciences Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU, www.copernicus.org/EGU).
