Rate My Professor Julien Kammer

Julien Kammer serves as Maître de Conférences, equivalent to Associate Professor, at Aix-Marseille University within the Laboratoire de Chimie de l'Environnement (LCE, UMR 7376, Aix-Marseille Université/CNRS). He is a member of the Instrumentation et Réactivité Atmosphérique (IRA) team, based on the Saint-Charles campus in Marseille. His research specializes in atmospheric chemistry and physics, with a focus on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from biogenic sources such as forests, crops, and urban trees, their reactivity leading to new particle formation, and their implications for air quality. Kammer has conducted field measurements using advanced techniques like PTR-ToF-MS to quantify VOC fluxes from wheat, maize, rapeseed, dairy farms, and the Landes forest. He completed his PhD between October 2013 and December 2016 as a doctoral student at ISPA (INRA) and LPTC (CNRS).

Kammer's scholarly contributions include key publications such as 'Observation of nighttime new particle formation over the French Landes forest' (Science of The Total Environment, 2018, 63 citations), 'Comparative study of biogenic volatile organic compounds fluxes by wheat, maize and rapeseed with dynamic chambers over a short period in northern France' (Atmospheric Environment, 2019, 44 citations), 'Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) reactivity related to new particle formation (NPF) over the Landes forest' (Atmospheric Research, 2020, 37 citations), 'Characterization of particulate and gaseous pollutants from a French dairy and sheep farm' (Science of the Total Environment, 2020, 29 citations), and 'Significant impact of urban tree biogenic emissions on air quality estimated by a bottom-up inventory and chemistry transport modeling' (Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2024, 39 citations). His work has garnered over 415 citations. Kammer leads the OASIS integrated research project funded by Amidex and Institut ITEM, exploring VOC emissions primarily from urban vegetation. He co-directs doctoral theses, including those in collaboration with IMBE and LCE, and has presented at university events like Explorons les possibles on environmental challenges.
