About

I am a meteorologist and work as a PostDoc in the field of air-land-interactions. I focus on the investigation of exchange processes of energy, CO2 and momentum between forests or agroecosystems and the atmosphere. I am maintaing and managing two fully equipped flux tower sites, one above a beech forest and one above a cropland site. I am very well trained in the eddy covariance technique, as well as data processing from raw data to fully quality checked and gap-filled data. Beyond eddy covariance I also apply other micrometeorological methods, e.g. the flux gradient approach for measuring O2 fluxes above a cropland site, which is uniqe. In addition to research I am strongly involved in teaching activities in the field of air-land-interactions, meteorological measurement techniques, as well as physics on bachelor and master level. I do supervise numerous bachelors and masters students as well as co-supervise currently two PhD students. I am very well trained in managing many projects at the same time.

Experience

  • Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (10 yrs 8 mos)
    • Postdoctoral Researcher
      Apr 2021 - Present · 5 yrs 3 mos

      After finishing my PhD on Micrometeorological measurements and numerical simulations of turbulence and evapotranspiration over agroforestry I am now enrolled as as postdoctoral researcher at the department of bioclimatology at the University of Göttingen. My research interests are - ecosystem-atmosphere interactions - impact of land-use change on the atmopshere - development of novel instruments for water vapour, CO2 and O2 measurements

    • PHD Student
      Nov 2015 - Apr 2021 · 5 yrs 6 mos

      For more information see my description above.

  • Meteorologe at University of Leipzig
    Sep 2014 - Sep 2015 · 1 yr 1 mo

    Im Augenblick bearbeite ich meine Masterarbeit und beschäftige mich konkret mit der Weiterentwicklung eines "All Scale Atmospheric Models". Hierbei implementiere ich Eisbildungsprozesse und erforsche explizit die Entstehung, den Aufbau und das Auflösen von Mischphasenwolken in der Arktis.

  • Summer Internship at University of Bergen
    Aug 2014 - Sep 2014 · 2 mos

    I did a intership in the experimental working group of Joachim Reuder and analyzed data from a measuring campaign on Svalbard in 2014.
