Nominator's project description

Professor Geiger is an internationally recognized leader at the fore¬front of environmental physical chemistry. He has made key fundamental advances in our molecular-level understanding of atmospheric aerosol particle surfaces, mineral/water interfaces and the nanoscale-bio interface. During his stay in Germany, he will explore and develop new concepts in nonlinear optical signal generation from charged interfaces.
