Abstract
My name is Paulus Bauer and I am currently a postdoc in the ultrafine aerosol group of Prof. James Smith at UC Irvine (Chemistry department). Studying particles emitted by brake and tire wear and attempting to reveal the chemical composition of particles smaller than 10 nm are my main foci. My research interest into nanometer sized aerosol particles and their formation processes got sparked during my PhD thesis at the University of Vienna (Physics department), Austria, where I measured nanometer-sized aerosol in-situ with synchrotron-based Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). During my PhD and postdoc at the University of Vienna, I gained a lot of knowledge from my teaching duties and by designing a new lecture series. My talent in developing new tools and instrumentation evolved during my physics master at the University of Heidelberg and also working in my father’s workshop, who is a musical instrument builder.

I am looking for a position in environmental research, in developing new tools and measurement techniques or in teaching positions in environmental related sciences. My anticipated availability will be in April 2024 and I am looking forward to explore new geographic locations.
