معرفی
Dr. Philipp Franke serves as a Senior Scientist and Head of the group "Air Quality and Emission Optimization" at the Troposphere department (Institute of Climate and Energy Systems, ICE-3) within Forschungszentrum Jülich. His primary research areas include uncertainty quantification, inverse modelling, data assimilation, emission optimization, and ensemble simulations in the context of air quality and atmospheric chemistry.
Dr. Franke earned his doctorate in meteorology in 2017 through a collaboration between the Jülich Research Centre and the Rhenish Institute for Environmental Research. Following his doctoral studies, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Jülich Research Centre, focusing on the evaluation of the German emission inventory for trace gases and aerosols using four-dimensional variational data assimilation techniques.
Currently, as the leader of the inverse and regional modelling group at ICE-3, Dr. Franke's research investigates the predictability of forecast uncertainties in air quality models. His work aims to identify and reduce factors that affect the accuracy of trace gas concentration predictions. Additionally, he explores how modifications to anthropogenic emissions can lead to improved air quality in the most cost-effective manner. All research in his group utilizes the EURAD-IM (European Air pollution Dispersion - Inverse Model) chemical transport model.
