Research Interests
My research interests lie in the ocean, specifically how eddies dissipate their energy. Together with my supervisor Nils Brüggemann, I aim to comprehend the processes through which eddies dissipate their energy. Eddies play a crucial role in the general circulation by transporting tracers such as salt, nutrition, and heat. Understanding the energy dissipation processes of eddies is key to understand the bigger picture. I am utilising global eddy-resolving simulations…

Research Interest
I am a cloud enthusiast and love to spend my time visualizing and thinking about the many facets inherent to tropical clouds. During my PhD I was mostly fascinated by the rich details of small and optically thin cumulus clouds in the trades and studied their relation to their environment als well as their ubiquity over tropical oceans from space. More recently, I am diving into the deeper convection associated with convergence lines that might play a role in the slightly…
