Steve Brown received a Ph. D. in physical chemistry with Professor Fleming Crim at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He came to NOAA in 1997 as an NRC post-doctoral fellow working with Dr. A. R. Ravishankara, was a Research Scientist with CIRES at the University of Colorado from 2000 - 2005, and has served as a federal Research Chemist since then. He currently leads the Tropospheric Chemistry Program that conducts field measurements to understand atmospheric composition with applications in air quality and climate. He also leads the Atmospheric Remote Sensing program which develops and operates lidar technology for ozone and meteorological measurements. His major research theme at NOAA has been the chemistry and impacts of nitrogen oxides in the Earth's atmosphere and the development of high sensitivity optical instrumentation for laboratory and field studies of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols.
Professor Dr Henrik Fuchs

Collaborating and supporting AtmoTrace in WP1v
Hendrik Fuchs is a scientist at Forschungszentrum Jülich (IEK-8) and University of Cologne working in the field of atmospheric chemistry for more than 15 years. He received his Ph.D. from Humboldt University Berlin 2006. In 2007/2008 he was a post-doc at NOAA (Boulder). His field of interest is in radical chemistry and spectroscopic detection of radicals (laser- induced fluorescence and cavity ring-down spectroscopy) in chamber and field experiments. He manages the scientific program of the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR that is part of the European infrastructure ACTRIS. He received an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2015.
Andreas Zahn received his diploma degree in physics at the Technical University Darmstadt (Germany) in 1990 and his Ph.D. at the University of Heidelberg in 1995. After postdoc positions at the University of Heidelberg and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry (Mainz), he moved to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2001 to lead the research group “in-situ measurements onboard aircraft” at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK). Since 2015 he coordinates the European research infrastructure IAGOS-CARIBIC, where a high-tech laboratory equipped with ~20 instruments for >100 atmospheric trace species is operated on board a passenger aircraft (Airbus A350) by Lufthansa airlines.
