Archita Rana

Archita Rana is a Research Fellow at Forschungszentrum Jülich's Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE), specifically within the Troposphere division (ICE-3). Her research focuses on critical atmospheric components including ultrafine particles, black carbon, and brown carbon, which significantly influence air quality and climate dynamics.

Her work investigates the formation, transformation, and environmental impacts of carbonaceous aerosols in the troposphere. Through the Reactive Trace Substances research group, she examines energy-related emissions and their atmospheric processing, contributing to climate modeling and pollution mitigation strategies. Key research areas include aerosol-radiation interactions, combustion-derived particulate matter, and atmospheric chemical kinetics.

Dr. Rana's affiliation with the Troposphere division places her within ICE-3's framework studying atmospheric composition changes. Her research directly supports understanding anthropogenic influences on climate systems through analysis of reactive trace substances and their energy emission sources.
