Biography

Possessing a doctoral degree in Geodesy and Geoinformation, I bring a strong background in statistics and data analysis. My expertise lies in the integration of geodetic observations with numerical Earth system models. My primary focus is on the evaluation of satellite gravimetry observations (GRACE/-FO) in the context of hydro-meteorological processes. My research aims to unravel the intricate impacts of climate change on the water cycle through innovative interdisciplinary approaches. I am passionate about advancing our understanding of the Earth system and enjoy collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds.
