Welcome to Thomas Singer

We warmly welcome Thomas Singer as a PhD student in the Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry. He joined the Analytical Chemistry group on 1 March 2019.

Thomas Singer studied Environmental Sciences at ETH Zurich, with a focus on biogeochemistry processes and pollutant dynamics. For his master thesis he investigated controlling factors for leaf gas exchange.

At PSI, Thomas Singer will determine the composition and sources of the bulk organic matter in the pristine, pre-industrial atmospheres, and quantify the influence of the human activity thereon, by analysing well-dated glacier ice cores utilizing innovative techniques such radiocarbon analysis with accelerator mass spectrometry.
