Curriculum Vitae

Klaus Pfeilsticker studied physics (1974-1985) at the Universities of Ulm, Heidelberg (both Germany), and Beer-Sheba (Israel). He received his physics diploma, and PhD from the University of Heidelberg in 1981 and 1985, respectively. He held post-doc positions at various research institutions including the MPI-Kernphysik in Heidelberg, the Forschungzentrum Jülich, and at the University of Heidelberg. In 1998, he has been habilitated at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. In 1999/2000, he joined the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aeronomy Laboratory at Boulder Co, USA for a sabbatical leave, which was sponsored by the US National Research Council. In 2001, he became guest professor with the Anhui Institute of Optical and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM) the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)/China, and in 2003 with the University of Perugia/Italy. In 2005 he was nominated professor (apl) at the University of Heidelberg.
His research interests focus on physics of the environment, including the atmospheric photochemistry, the radiative transfer of the Earth's atmosphere, random walks on fractals, isotopes in the atmospheric environment, and UV/vis spectrometry. He actively took part in quite a suited of field internationally organized and sponsored campaigns (CHEOPS 3, EASOE, SESAME, THESEO, ARESE 2, EuroSOLVE, SCOUT-O3) that aimed at the investigation of the Earth ozone layer, the deposition of the solar radiation in the atmosphere, and the isotopic composition of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. He is also actively involved in stratospheric ozone research by co-leading the French/German LPMA/DOAS (Laboratoire Physique Molèculaire et Application/Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) cooperation. Within the cooperation, UV/visible/near IR solar occultation measurements have been performed from the LPMA/DOAS balloon gondola, that were successfully launched on many occasions at low (Brazil), mid- (France, Spain), and high latitudes (Sweden) during all seasons.
In recent year, he is been actively developing the high resolving oxygen A-band spectrometry, a novel technique that provides new insights into the atmospheric radiative transfer. Moreover, major research results has been achieved in the UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopy of collisional, metastable and stable dimers (O2-O2, H2O-H2O, H2O-O2, H2O-N2, ....) in the atmosphere.
In total he has been involved in 31 nationally or internationally funded projects. He is first author, or has contributed to about 89 publications in peer reviewed international journals (see below) and one book chapter.He also contributed as author to the UNEP/WMO assessment reports on stratospheric ozone published in
2002 and 2006.
