I am a Heisenberg Fellow and Senior Lecturer (Privatdozent) in Geophysics at the Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Cologne. Previously, I worked as Researcher and Lecturer at the Institute of Geophysics, ETH Zurich and GFZ Potsdam - Helmholtz Research Centre for Geosciences.
About
My primary interest is in advancing our understanding of the physical properties and processes within the Earth’s crust-mantle system across multiple scales. I aim to apply this knowledge to address questions and challenges in
subsurface CO2 storage,
geothermal and mineral exploration,
geophysical imaging of volcanic systems,
characterization of subglacial environments,
mantle hydration and melting,
modelling of space weather hazards.
To achieve these goals, I develop advanced 3-D geophysical imaging and data assimilation techniques for electromagnetic (EM) and potential field methods.
I work across disciplines, and try to stay informed about advancements in all branches of solid Earth geophysics. I am keen about newest developments in numerical methods for large-scale physical simulations, solution of inverse problems, and machine learning methods. My broad expertise and developed methods not only advance our understanding of the Earth system but also offers insights into the interiors of other planets and moons.
I am committed to Open Science principles in my research. My research outputs and models are mostly available as supplementary materials in published papers or accessible via my GitHub profile.
