Volker Matthias completed his habilitation with his colloquium lecture on “The impact of ship emissions on air quality in coastal areas” – congratulations! For many years, Universität Hamburg and the internationally renowned scientist, who is head of the “Chemistry Transport Modeling” department at the neighboring Hereon Research Center, have been in close contact in both research and teaching. We are delighted that he will continue to enrich our research landscape in the future and inspire students for atmospheric chemistry.
