Senior Lecturer
Research Focus
Bioaerosols (spores and pollen): Sources, their spread and impact on human health, agriculture and ecosystems
Scientific Activities
The main research questions on bioaerosols are related to the exchange between atmosphere and the vegetation/surface and how meteorology affects this exchange and later the concentration of the species in the atmosphere. The studies species includes pollen (e.g. birch, grasses, ragweed) fungal spores (e.g. Alternaria and Cladosporium), pathogens and the interplay with chemical air pollutants. The research is typically carried out by combining ground based observations with mathematical models and data obtained using satellites or drones.
