Vincent Huijnen is a senior scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, and has a decade of research experience in the field of atmospheric chemistry. He is one of the main co-developers of the atmospheric chemistry module integrated in the IFS system, which is currently operational in CAMS. Together with a partner from HYGEOS, Vincent currently coordinates the CAMS model development on global reactive gases and aerosol.
As such, he is in close contact with other elements in the CAMS service, including the team working on (fire) emissions, as well as operational application of the global system. In the past, Vincent worked also to a-posteriori validation. Amongst his research, he has a particular interest in the large fire events in Russia (2010) and Indonesia (2015), and also contributed to the development of improved satellite retrieval products.
