About
Pontus Roldin is a Senior Lecturer at Lund University's Department of Physics within the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). He is an active researcher with multiple affiliations across Lund University's profile areas including MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system), LTH Profile Area: Aerosols, LU Profile Area: Nature-based future solutions, and LU Profile Area: Light and Materials. His work significantly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and environmental protection.
Dr. Roldin's research focuses on atmospheric aerosol formation, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, and air pollution. He is the founder, main developer, and user of two important models: ADCHEM (2D-Lagrangian model for Aerosol Dynamics, gas-phase CHEMistry and radiative transfer) and ADCHAM (Aerosol dynamics, gas- and particle-phase chemistry kinetic multilayer model for laboratory CHAMber studies). His expertise spans environmental engineering and earth sciences with specific focus areas in aerosol dynamics, atmospheric modeling, and secondary organic aerosols.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs), new particle formation, and the interactions between marine and continental atmospheric processes. His research combines advanced modeling techniques with field measurements to understand complex atmospheric processes that impact climate and air quality.
Dr. Roldin is actively involved in multiple research projects including PAREMPI (Particle emission prevention and impact), CLIMB-FOREST (CLImate Mitigation and Bioeconomy pathways for sustainable FORESTry), and JACOBIAn (Joint Atmospheric transport modelling of CO2 and Black carbon for Improved CO2 source Allocation), demonstrating his commitment to addressing critical environmental challenges through interdisciplinary research.
He regularly participates in academic activities including organizing seminars, presenting at conferences, and engaging with the scientific community through publications and collaborative research efforts across Europe.
