Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are one of the main sources of uncertainty in the current
understanding of the Earth's climate. Agriculture contributes to primary aerosol emissions …

Composition of the freshly formed secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated by
ozonolysis of cyclohexene, cyclohexene-d 10 (model precursors) and α-pinene was studied …

On-the-fly dynamics simulations are performed for the reaction of catechol+ O3. The post
transition state (TS) dynamics is studied at temperatures of 400 and 500 K. The PM7 …

The ozonolysis of limonene was investigated in a laminar aerosol flow reactor under dry
conditions enabling the first nucleation/condensation steps to be studied. The effect of …

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds are higher than those from anthropogenic
sources. In this work, we studied the kinetics of the reaction of three unsaturated aldehydes …

In this work, kinetics, product formation, chemical mechanism and SOA formation for the gas-
phase reaction of trans-2-hexenal (T2H) with O 3 are examined using four complementary …

We investigated the kinetics, mechanism and secondary organic aerosols formation of the
ozonolysis of trans-2-pentenal (T2P) using four different reactors with Fourier Transform …

This thesis is centred around a common theme of using computational chemistry to
investigate reactions that either produce or deplete atmospheric Criegee intermediates …

Limonene is a wide-spread volatile organic compound in the atmosphere. Its fast reaction
with ozone leads to a large range of low-volatility oxygenated products that can form …

The rate coefficients for the reactions of ozone with 2-carene and 3-carene have been
measured at 760 Torr of air and 299±6 K using both absolute and relative methods. The …
