PD Dr. Andreas Philipp serves as a Senior Lecturer and Research Associate in Physical Geography and Climate Science at the Institute of Geography, University of Augsburg, Faculty of Applied Computer Science. With over two decades of academic experience, his work bridges climate science, urban meteorology, and environmental health. His research focuses on understanding atmospheric circulation patterns and their impacts on urban environments and human health.
His educational background includes studies in Geography, Geology, and Sociology at the University of Würzburg (1991-1997), followed by graduate research in Geoscientific Research in Africa (1997-2000). He completed his doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) at Würzburg in 2003 and habilitated in Physical Geography in 2014, earning the title of Privatdozent.
Philipp's research interests span atmospheric circulation dynamics, urban climate systems, air quality monitoring, and climate-health relationships. His work particularly emphasizes the development and application of circulation type classifications, urban heat island effects, and the relationship between weather conditions and health outcomes. He has pioneered innovative approaches using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for boundary layer measurements and developed sophisticated methods for urban air quality monitoring.
His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to climate science, with recent work focusing on urban climate modeling, air quality assessment using novel sensor networks, and the health impacts of meteorological conditions. His research shows a clear progression from fundamental climate pattern analysis toward applied urban climate solutions and health-related climate studies.
Philipp leads several significant research initiatives including the Virtual Alpine Observatory (VAO), Smart Air Quality Network (SAQN), Thunderstorm Asthma in the Region Augsburg (TARA), and the Urban Climate under Change ([UC]² 3DO) projects. These initiatives demonstrate his commitment to addressing contemporary climate challenges through interdisciplinary approaches.
His collaborative approach is evident in numerous co-authored publications with researchers across disciplines including geography, medicine, environmental science, and engineering. This cross-disciplinary work has resulted in significant contributions to understanding how atmospheric conditions affect urban environments and human health, particularly regarding stroke incidence and thunderstorm asthma phenomena.
