Research Interests

I am currently a PhD candidate in the DFG-funded research unit TERSANE II (Temperature related stresses as a unifying principle in ancient extinctions) with the NUC project. My research contributes to the reconstruction of the ocean carbon and nutrient cycles and their interactions with climate during the Permian-Triassic transition. In this context, I am particularly interested in using Earth System Models to bridge the timescales which were present during the End-Permian mass extinction specifically between ecosystem responses and the geological record.

I am also interested in improving the representation of biogeochemical cycles within the current generation of Earth System Models, with a particular focus on the Nitrogen cycle. I have been contributing to the development of an Extended Nitrogen Cycle in the Hamburg Ocean Carbon Cycle (HAMOCC) model. In this capacity I have also been collaborating with the ESM2025 Project under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

I am eager to pursue a career in research to further understanding of ocean biogeochemistry and climate change both in the past and the future.
