Ph.D. in Atmospheric chemistry of Criegee intermediates (Kinetics and reaction mechanisms), University of Leeds, UK
About the Program:
- The project will concentrate mainly on the chemistry and atmospheric impacts of Criegee intermediates (CIs), a family of reactive species generated in atmospheric oxidation processes initiated by the reactions of ozone (O3) with unsaturated hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- This NERC-funded work will be used photolytic CI sources to develop novel techniques to monitor the kinetics and products of Criegee intermediate reactions under atmospherically relevant conditions, including time-resolved broadband UV absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved high-resolution IR absorption spectroscopy.
- This project will also develop an experimental technique based on cavity enhanced UV absorption spectroscopy to explore Criegee intermediates directly, and quantitatively, in ozonolysis reactions.
