Dr. Jürgen Schnelle-Kreis
Jürgen uses analytical methods to chemically characterize aerosol particles in the environment and in emission and aging studies. We study where aerosol particles come from in the environment, how they are distributed there, and what processes contribute to their changes. Our goal is to better understand how aerosol particles affect our health.
Academic Pathway
Jürgen is a graduate chemist and holds a PhD in chemistry.
Jürgen started his scientific career in the Indoor Air Pollution Working Group at the Institute of Ecological Chemistry of the GSF Research Center for Environment and Health. After a short collaboration in the Department of Ecological Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, he became deputy head of the Chemistry Department of the bifa Environmental Institute in Augsburg. Here he successfully continued the work he had already started at the GSF Research Center in the field of aerosol research.
In 2009, Jürgen returned to Helmholtz Zentrum München and took over the leadership of the aerosol chemistry group in the Comprehensive Molecular Analytics cooperation group.
