معرفی
Tihomir Simin is a researcher in the Terrestrial Ecology group at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. His work investigates volatile organic compound (VOC) dynamics in Arctic and subarctic ecosystems, with emphasis on plant-atmosphere interactions under climate change.
Dr. Simin earned his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Copenhagen in 2022 with the dissertation Effects of leaf surface temperature and plant traits on volatile organic compound emission from tundra vegetation. His research spans field studies in Greenland and subarctic regions, examining how elevation, temperature, and species traits govern VOC emissions from tundra vegetation.
Analysis of his 2020-2023 publications reveals a cohesive focus on biogenic VOC fluxes in vulnerable polar ecosystems. His work combines chamber-based measurements and ecosystem-scale observations to quantify seasonal/elevational patterns, species-specific responses, and climate feedback mechanisms. Key contributions include establishing temperature-dependent isoprene emission models and demonstrating elevation-driven shifts in dwarf birch VOC profiles.
As an active member of the Terrestrial Ecology research group, Dr. Simin collaborates internationally with institutions highlighted in co-authored studies from PNAS to Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. His research has garnered media attention including news coverage and social media discussion across 19 X platforms and Facebook pages.
