معرفی
Dr. Hendryk Czech is a researcher and habilitation candidate at the Chair of Analytical Chemistry, University of Rostock, where he leads the 'Aerosol Chemistry' research group. He is also affiliated with the Helmholtz International Laboratory aeroHEALTH and previously worked at Helmholtz Zentrum München and the University of Eastern Finland. His research focuses on the atmospheric aging and health impacts of combustion emissions using advanced analytical techniques.
- University of Rostock – Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.), Master of Science in Chemistry
- University of Eastern Finland – Postdoctoral Research Associate
- Helmholtz Zentrum München – Research Associate (2019–2024)
His research interests include atmospheric and aerosol chemistry, light-absorbing carbon, photoionization mass spectrometry, and the application of statistical data analysis and machine learning to environmental data. He investigates emissions from diverse sources such as vehicles, marine engines, and wildfires, with a focus on their chemical transformation and biological effects.
The 15 most recent publications highlight a strong trend in studying secondary organic aerosols, combustion emissions, and their health implications. His work combines laboratory simulations (e.g., oxidation flow reactors) with advanced mass spectrometry to characterize aerosol composition and aging processes, often in interdisciplinary collaborations involving toxicology and atmospheric modeling.
- State Graduate Scholarship Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (2014–2016)
Dr. Czech actively supervises research and leads multiple projects such as 'lowC', 'NH3-Stat', 'ULTRHAS', 'IMPAERO', and 'BASFAA', focusing on low-carbon fuels, emission analysis, and health assessments. He collaborates extensively with international teams and contributes to the development of analytical methodologies for real-time aerosol monitoring.
He leads the 'Aerosol Chemistry' group at the University of Rostock and is involved in the Helmholtz International Laboratory aeroHEALTH, indicating active leadership in both research and collaborative scientific networks.
