 Mail to P. Wiesen | |
| Scientific interests | Prof. Dr. Peter Wiesen is senior research scientist of the Physical Chemistry Department at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, where he obtained both his Diplom and PhD in chemistry. He has more than 20 years experience in the field of physical chemistry and his major research fields are: (i) relative kinetic measurements and product analysis of atmospheric processes in medium sized photo-reactors using in situ long-path absorption spectroscopy for analysis (path length in the IR up to 1 km, detection range: sub-ppb), (ii) measurements of trace gas (N2O, CH4, selected hydrocarbons) emissions from different combustion sources (household burners, power stations, automobiles and jet engines of aircrafts), (iii) studies of heterogeneous processes at ambient temperatures and at low temperatures (< -80 °C) and (iv) the development of ultra-sensitive instruments for the measurement of atmospheric trace species such as HONO and HNO3. |
