About me
I am an IMPRS-ESM PhD researcher working on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its climatic impacts. I am part of the Climate Modelling and the Climate Extremes research groups at the University of Hamburg.
Research topics
- Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)
- European temperatures and extremes
- Net-zero emissions
- Detection and attribution
