Piero Di Carlo has been Assistant Professor with tenure at the University of L'Aquila (Italy) since April 2008. His main interest is the chemistry and physics of the atmosphere. He has designed state-of-the-art instruments and used them onboard a research aircraft to study environmental issues such as urban ozone pollution and forest emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds. In 2011, he was the Director of the International Summer School (4th EUFAR FP7 Training Course) ‘School on Aircraft Techniques for the Studies of Atmospheric Chemistry’. He is an Associate Editor of the Open-Access journal Atmospheric Measurements Techniques.
