Eimear M. Dunne

Eimear M. Dunne is a Post-doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge, where she contributes to the Parameterization of Convection (ParaCon) project, focusing on improving convective cloud modeling using Large Eddy Simulations. She previously held research positions at the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the University of Leeds, where she worked on the CERN CLOUD project investigating aerosol nucleation processes.

Her research interests include atmospheric aerosol formation, cloud-aerosol interactions, climate modeling, ion-induced nucleation, and the role of cosmic rays and biogenic emissions in new particle formation. She specializes in using global and regional models such as GLOMAP and LES to simulate aerosol and cloud processes.

Her publications reveal a strong focus on understanding the molecular and physical mechanisms behind atmospheric particle nucleation, particularly involving sulfuric acid, ammonia, amines, and organic oxidation products. She has extensively collaborated with the CLOUD team at CERN, contributing to landmark studies published in Science, Nature, and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
