Kamal Raj R Mundoli

Doctoral Researcher at the Center for Atmospheric Research (ATMOS), headed by Prof. Nønne Prisle, in the faculty of ITEE. Kamal's research focus is on the surface characteristics of atmospherically relevant aerosols. Understanding these properties is crucial for deciphering how aerosols interact with each other and with surrounding moisture. The surface chemistry of aerosols influences key atmospheric phenomena such as cloud formation, location, and longevity. Furthermore, it plays a role in governing the Earth's solar radiation budget, thereby affecting global climate patterns.

Alongside his team, Kamal specializes in advanced synchrotron-based spectroscopy. They conduct experiments at renowned international synchrotron facilities, including MAX IV in Sweden, BESSY II in Germany, UVSOR III in Japan, and the Swiss Light Source (SLS) in Switzerland. These collaborative studies serve to deepen our understanding of aerosol systems, offering consequential insights for both climate science and environmental policy.

His career aspirations are rooted in a strong commitment to scientific innovations and sustainability. Driven by the ambition to contribute meaningfully to science, Kamal seeks to have a positive impact on humanity.
