If you have ever owned a car, you are probably familiar with the mandatory (bi-) annual emissions test, which were introduced to ensure that wear and tear on the engines do not have a negative impact on the exhaust gas quality. And even if you have never owned a car, chances are that this connection […]
Our Mission We are a group of highly driven aeronautical engineers, chemists, and atmospheric and environmental scientists, forming an interdisciplinary team who are interested in aircraft engine emissions and their influence on both local and global air quality. Our aim is to improve our understanding of the interplay between aircraft emissions, the environment, and human […]

This resolution was based upon a report on the […]
A long-awaited return The previous installment of the TAC conferences, TAC-4, was the best conference I attended during my PhD back in 2015. A perfect combination of topics and social activities in a small Bavarian town away from touristy temptations. Naturally, TAC-5 had been on my radar, and it was initially supposed to follow the […]
Written by Manuel Roth The Center for Aviation is characterized by multidisciplinary research and services within the aviation sector. The versatility of these focal points inspires and shapes my everyday life. But let’s start at the beginning. As a scientific assistant, I work for the Center’s Human Factors Team in addition to the MetEnviA team. […]
Climate change will only be successfully tackled if a drastic reduction in emitted greenhouse gases can be fulfilled. This goal can best be reached by both decarbonizing all energy sectors and reducing the energy demand of our society. To this end, Switzerland aims at rapidly expanding the capacity of green energy production, with a strong […]
