Scholar-generated biography
Athanasios Nenes is a researcher at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, specializing in aerosols, clouds, climate, and air quality. His work focuses on understanding the interactions between aerosols and clouds, the role of aerosols in climate change, and the impact of anthropogenic emissions on atmospheric processes. Nenes has developed thermodynamic models for inorganic aerosols and investigated the acidity of atmospheric particles and their implications for air quality and climate. His research also explores the formation of secondary organic aerosols, the effects of aerosol-cloud interactions, and the microbiome of the upper troposphere. His studies contribute to improving climate models and assessing the environmental impact of pollutants.
