Michael Chilinski

Michael Chilinski is a Researcher and Academic Teacher at the Atmospheric Physics Department within the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Poland, and holds a visiting scientist position at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany.

His academic background includes:

• B.Sc. in Environmental Protection from the University of Warsaw (2007-2010)
• M.Sc. in Environmental Protection from the University of Warsaw (2010-2012)
• Ph.D. in Physics from the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (2012-2019)

Dr. Chilinski specializes in aerosol physics and atmospheric measurement techniques, focusing on single-particle analysis using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) with the MIMiX mk. II environmental chamber. His research involves environmental aerosols collected from scientific missions including ATTO, HALO, and research vessels S/Y Eugen Seibold and R/V Meteor. He develops low-cost sensor systems (MICE project) for atmospheric monitoring across diverse environments—from oceans and urban areas to the upper troposphere—and conducts vertical profiling using drones, cable cars, and skyscrapers. His expertise extends to spatial data analysis and visualization through Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

No information is available in the provided text regarding his students or grant funding.

He is a core member of the Pöhlker research group, leading instrumentation development for atmospheric monitoring including the MICE project for Microstations In Challenging Environments and the MIMiX mk. II environmental chamber for advanced aerosol characterization.
