Education
- 2009 - Ph.D., Oceanography, International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling (IMPRS-ESM), Hamburg, Germany
Dissertation: Warm and sensitive Paleocene-Eocene climate
- 2005 - M.Sc., Physics, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany
Thesis: Interactions between marine biology and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation: a conceptual model analysis
Research Motivation
My general motivation is to understand and to explain different aspects of our Earth System with mathematical models. As a Postdoc at IPRC, I focused on the development and application of climate and ice-sheet models to study the forcing and feedback mechanisms that cause glacial cycles.
