Alexandru Dandocsi, PhD- is an atmospheric physicist. He has a PhD degree in Physics from “Politehnica” University of Bucharest. His expertise is in atmospheric physics, with a focus on atmospheric composition using passive remote sensing instruments, including satellite borne and ground based retrievals.

His scholarly contributions manifest in a robust research output, with many indexed articles in the Web of Science (WoS).

His previous experience includes a post-Doc position in Atmospheric Chemistry for the Science Section of European Space Agency (ESA) Centre for Earth Observation supporting the development of Atmospheric Science Cluster and Sentinel 5P and Aeolus Innovation projects as well as Open Call Science projects. His duties were to technically review the deliverables and he was a member of the Aeolus Scientific Advisory Board. He was also selected by ESA to represent them to the (EC) Directorate of Research and Innovation (DG-RTD) as Policy Officer for the implementation of ESA-EC Earth System Science Initiative. During his secondment to the EC DG/RTD he was a member of the Euro-GEO High Level Working Group and member of the Destination Earth Scientific Advisory Group.

He is currently focusing on cal/val activities for ESA Earth Explorer and EC Copernicus Programmes as well as air quality and climate studies using both ground based and satellite borne passive instruments. He is also an active member of the ACTRIS EG-Sat Cal/Val group and member of the national ATOP consortium.
