He earned a degree in 1999 with his diploma thesis "Experimental investigations for the development of a 2pi fission fragment detector". Since then he has been a PhD student with the <a href="http://www.iup.physik.uni-bremen.de/">Institute of Environmental Physics</a> at the <a href="http://www.uni-bremen.de/index.html">University of Bremen</a>, Germany. <P> <font color="#FF3300">Research:</font> <P> Armin Kleinböhl performed research in nuclear physics, focussing on nuclear structure and heavy-ion physics, using means of gamma ray and particle spectroscopy. Currently he is doing reseach in atmospheric physics, with a focus on stratospheric dynamics and chemistry in the polar regions, applying sub-mm spectroscopy. Recent work dealt with denitrification, the loss of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere by particle sedimentation, and their influence on ozone depleting chemistry in the Arctic. <P> <font color="#FF3300">Research on Leonid MAC:</font> <P> The sub-mm radiometer ASUR will be used on board the DC-8 aircraft to search for organic molecules introduced by the meteors into the upper atmosphere as well as to determine changes in the upper atmospheric chemistry caused by meteoric influence.
