Research Interests

Alexanders research focus centers on investigating aerosols, encompassing both anthropogenic and natural origins including mineral dust and volcanic aerosols. Through numerical simulation, he aims to enhance the understanding of these impacts on climate and air quality. Additionally, he employs inverse modeling techniques to retrieve parameters associated with volcanic emissions and anthropogenic sources.
