The Center for Chemistry of Clouds (C3) is located at the Department of Chemistry, at Aarhus University and consists of five principal investigators.
The center is led by Professor Merete Bilde, who has a passion for atmospheric science and is an expert in atmospheric and physical chemistry, aerosols, and cloud microphysics. Find more about Merete's research here.
Professor Marianne Glasius leads a research group focusing on advanced chemical analysis and atmospheric chemistry. She will contribute to C3 with her expertise in molecular characterisation of aerosols. Explore more of Marianne's research here.
Associate Professor Tobias Weidner is a leading expert on studying molecular interactions with surfaces and interfaces using advanced spectroscopy and ultrafast molecular reactions and motion. He will be crucial in obtaining information about molecular-level interactions and reactions at aerosol interfaces. Discover more of Tobias' work here.
Professor Ove Christiansen is a world-recognised researcher in the development and application of theoretical and computational methods. His work focuses on novel theories of electronic structure, nuclear quantum dynamics, computational spectroscopy, potential energy surfaces, condensed-phase modelling, machine learning, and tensor decomposition.

Associate Professor Jonas Elm models atmospheric processes using state-of-the-art quantum chemical methods, and he is a world-leading expert in atmospheric cluster formation. He will provide critical knowledge on how molecules attach to aerosol surfaces and insight into the molecular-level description of the chemistry of cloud formation.

Assistant Professor Fabian Mahrt assumed his position at the Department of Chemistry and in the Center for Chemistry of Cloud on March 15, 2024. Fabian is an expert in aerosols and cloud microphysics. His research focuses on aerosol properties and processes, including phase transitions, the formation of cloud droplets and ice crystals on aerosol particles, and their implications for microphysical properties.
