Aerovirology

Research

Our research interests currently branch into three directions: study of the viruses from structural perspective, airborne virus transmission, dispersion pathways and mechanisms of different bioaerosols, and microbial ice nucleation.

Bioaerosols

Bioaerosols are e.g. bacteria, fungi, pollen, and viruses that are aerosolized by different natural processes, such as winds, breaking of...

Ice nucleation

Ice nucleating particles affect cloud dynamics and are important for the planet's radiative balance and our prediction of future changes in...

Structure-based virus evolution

We hypothesize that viruses can be classified into different structural lineages based on common architectural principles. Strict...
