I obtained my BSc degree in International Field Geosciences from the University of Potsdam in Germany and the University of Montana in the USA. In 2017, I received my MSc degree in Geosciences at the University of Potsdam. During my BSc and MSc studies, I was involved in a variety of topics related to sedimentology, hyperspectral imaging, petroleum geology, geochemistry, remote sensing, and 3D geological subsurface modelling. I spent several years working as a research assistant at the Institute of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Potsdam as well as at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). After completion of my MSc studies, I joined DEA Deutsche Erdöl AG working as an Application Analyst for Geo Applications.

In 2020, I started working at the Institute of Geo‑Hydroinformatics at Hamburg University of Technology, where I also pursued my PhD. During this time, my research focused on the interactions between climate variability and hydrological systems, in particular the impacts of sea‑level rise, wetland adaptation, and evaporation dynamics in large reservoirs. By integrating remote sensing, physically based modelling, and big‑data analytics, my work aimed to quantify how climatic and anthropogenic drivers influence water systems across different spatial and temporal scales, contributing to a better understanding of water‑related climate vulnerabilities and supporting the development of adaptive strategies for sustainable water management.

Currently, I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geo‑Hydroinformatics, where I investigate various aspects of hydrology and climatological processes as well as anthropogenic influences on hydrological systems. Since October 2025, I have also been the coordinator of the CampusLab on Global Soil Health, Water and Climate at Hamburg University of Technology, a ~1000 m² living laboratory that connects research, education, and public engagement. Operated by the Institute of Geo‑Hydroinformatics in collaboration with other TUHH institutes, the CampusLab investigates soil processes, land–atmosphere interactions, and climate‑relevant parameters using advanced sensor networks, AI‑based data analysis, and immersive VR/AR visualization. It provides hands‑on training for students, outreach activities for schools and the public, and serves as a platform for interdisciplinary research on sustainable soil and water management in a changing climate.
