Alexander Haack

Dr. Alexander Haack is a researcher at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Measurement Technology, Leibniz University Hannover. His work focuses on ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), mass spectrometry, and computational modeling of chemical systems. Key research areas include ion-solvent clustering dynamics, reaction mechanisms in IMS, and the development of advanced detection technologies for chemical and biological agents.

He leads the EU-funded TeChBioT project (2022), developing miniaturized GC-IMS instruments for rapid detection of chemical/biological threats. His research integrates theoretical modeling (e.g., MobCal-MPI software) with experimental validation, emphasizing practical applications in environmental and security contexts.

Recent publications (2023-2025) address topics like arrival time distributions in reacting systems, fragmentation mechanisms of protonated alcohols, and machine learning approaches to IR spectrum prediction. His work bridges fundamental chemistry with engineering innovations in analytical instrumentation.

Research collaborations include institutions like the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) and the International Society of Ion Mobility Spectrometry (ISIMS). His methodological contributions advance both theoretical understanding and practical tools for chemical analysis.
