Leading researcher with 875 publications
Athanasios Nenes is a Professor of Atmospheric Processes and heads the Laboratory of Atmospheric Processes and their Impacts (LAPI) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also an affiliate researcher of the Institute of Chemical Engineering Science at the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas in Patras, Greece and a founding member and co-director of the Center of Studies on Air quality and Climate Change at the institute. His research focuses on atmospheric processes and their impacts on climate, health and ecosystems through a combination of theory, measurement and modelling. A central focus in his research program is atmospheric particulate matter (aerosols), and studies often combine of observations, theory and modeling. His group is involved in the development of aerosol instrumentation, and measurement techniques required to study processes and constrain parameters. His research group develops open-source modules routinely used in air quality and climate models, as well as tools for advanced sensitivity analysis of large codes and model reduction/data discovery through emulation and network analysis. Prof.Nenes and his research group is also heavily involved in field measurement programs on understanding the climate and health impacts of ambient aerosol. Prof. Nenes is the prime author of the ISORROPIA aerosol thermodynamics models, and developer of instrumentation to measure aerosol properties and Cloud Condensation Nuclei. He is a Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher, and serves as President of Atmospheric Sciences of the European Geophysical Union, and member of the UN Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (WG38: Atmospheric input of chemicals to the ocean). He has also served on the US National Academies Committee on the Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research, Secretary of Atmospheric Sciences of the American Geophysical Union and Editor in the Copernicus journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (2004-2019). Prof. Nenes is an American Geophysical Union Fellow (2020); a member of the Academia Europaea (2021); a Fellow of the American Association for Aerosol Research (2022); a recipient of the Copernicus Medal (2022), a ERC Consolidator Grant (2016), the Vaughan Lectureship, California Institute of Technology (2014), the Ascent Award, American Geophysical Union AS Section (2012), Whitby Award, American Association for Aerosol Research (2011), Houghton Award, American Meteorological Society (2009), Sigma Xi Young Faculty Award (2007), Friedlander Award, American Association for Aerosol Research (2005), NASA New Investigator Award (2004) and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2004). show More
