Bernadette Rosati serves as Assistant Professor and Deputy Head of the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), with her office located at Gregor-Mendel-Straße 33/II in Vienna. Her institutional affiliation falls under the Department of Water, Atmosphere and Environment though the specific faculty name is not explicitly stated in source materials. Dr. Rosati's research centers on atmospheric particle dynamics with particular expertise in bioaerosols and ice-nucleating particles. She investigates microbial aerosolization mechanisms (especially Pseudomonas syringae and freshwater microalgae), sea ice-derived particle impacts on Arctic clouds, and health consequences of indoor ultrafine particles from combustion sources. Her methodology integrates laboratory measurements of hygroscopicity using TDMA systems, controlled human exposure trials, and field studies of marine and freshwater aerosol emissions. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant research thrusts: (1) atmospheric behavior of biological ice nucleators including gene expression during dispersal and water uptake dynamics; (2) partitioning processes of sea ice-associated particles affecting polar cloud formation; and (3) health impacts of indoor ultrafine particles through rigorous randomized controlled trials. Her work consistently bridges microbial ecology, aerosol physics, and public health with strong emphasis on climate-relevant particle properties.
