Brief Biographical Information:
Born in 1973 in Germany, Armin Kleinböhl studied physics at the
University of Frankfurt / Main, Germany,
and at the University of Southampton, UK.
He earned a degree in 1999 with his diploma thesis
"Experimental investigations for the development of a 2pi fission fragment detector".
Since then he has been a PhD student with the
Institute of Environmental Physics
at the University of Bremen, Germany.
Research:
Armin Kleinböhl performed research in nuclear physics, focussing on nuclear structure and
heavy-ion physics, using means of gamma ray and particle spectroscopy.
Currently he is doing reseach in atmospheric physics, with a focus on
stratospheric dynamics and chemistry in the polar regions, applying sub-mm spectroscopy. Recent work
dealt with denitrification, the loss of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere by particle sedimentation,
and their influence on ozone depleting chemistry in the Arctic.
Research on Leonid MAC:
The sub-mm radiometer ASUR will be used on board the DC-8 aircraft to search for organic molecules
introduced by the meteors into the upper atmosphere as well as to determine changes in the upper
atmospheric chemistry caused by meteoric influence.
