Dietrich Einzel

Prof. Dr. Dietrich Einzel is a professor at the TUM School of Natural Sciences, Technical University of Munich (TUM). His expertise lies in Low Temperature Research and environmental science, focusing on greenhouse gas monitoring, urban emissions quantification, and advanced spectrometry technologies. He leads projects involving portable FTIR spectrometers for global GHG observations and develops automated measurement systems like Pyra software.

Research interests include methane emissions from urban areas and industrial sites, X-ray diagnostics at facilities like European XFEL, and sustainable materials from keratin waste. He has pioneered networks such as MUCCnet for continuous urban carbon column measurements, enhancing climate data accuracy and satellite validation.

Key contributions include quantifying methane leaks from coal mines in Poland, tracking emission patterns during events like Oktoberfest, and advancing low-cost air quality sensor networks. His work bridges environmental chemistry, engineering, and computational modeling to address climate and urban pollution challenges.
