Fields of expertise

  • Adjunct Professor, University of Helsinki, Department of Physics
  • Mathematical modelling of atmospheric pollution by various compounds. M.Sofiev has worked in the field of atmospheric physics and chemistry, mainly concentrating in development and application of the Lagrangian and Eulerian air pollution models for regional and large-scale (Dispersion Model for Atmospheric Transport, DMAT), as well as operational dispersion modelling for accidental releases (SILAM air quality and emergency modelling system). The list of pollutants includes: acidifying and toxic compounds, ozone, radioactive and biological species. Specific areas of interest are: model development, verification and comparison with measurements, statistical methodology for model validation, analysis of the measurement data, inverse and adjoint dispersion modeling, computer experiments, etc
