معرفی
Prof. Dr. Hendrik Fuchs is a Professor for Experimental Physics at the University of Cologne and Deputy Director of Troposphere (ICE-3) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. He leads the group 'Photochemistry and Radicals' at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE), focusing on atmospheric radical chemistry and its implications for air quality and climate.

His research explores atmospheric radical chemistry, emphasizing pollutant removal and climate interactions. He develops advanced instruments for trace gas detection and investigates energy transition impacts on air composition, combining field campaigns (e.g., JULIAC) with chamber experiments (SAPHIR). Key areas include OH/HO2/RO2 radical dynamics, secondary organic aerosol formation, and ozone production mechanisms under varying NOx and temperature conditions.
The 15 most recent articles highlight radical reaction kinetics, nocturnal chemistry, and oxidation of biogenic/anthropogenic VOCs. Themes span from instrument development (e.g., chemical modulation reactors) to modeling improvements (CAABA/MECCA), with subfields like HOM formation pathways, NO3 radical interactions, and aerosol-cloud feedbacks. His work bridges experimental and theoretical approaches, addressing both daytime and nighttime atmospheric processes.
Hendrik Fuchs' group at Forschungszentrum Jülich (ICE-3) contributes to ACTRIS, Europe's research infrastructure for aerosol, cloud, and trace gas studies. He also lectures at the University of Cologne, integrating research insights into education.
