I am a PhD student working with Prof. Anders Levermann on atmospheric dynamics. At the moment I am interested in atmospheric rivers and their dynamics when they encounter land masses. By making use of idealised experiments in the GFDL-AM2 model I aim to single out the atmospheric dynamics that underlie this process from other contributing factors.

I did my bachelors in Physics at the Technical University of Berlin, studying periodically driven open quantum systems. I then went on to do a masters degree in Theoretical Physics at Leiden University, where I conducted research on strongly correlated electron systems, like strange metals. The description of strongly correlated materials is theoretically challenging and requires tools like the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and the AdS/CFT (Anti-de-Sitter/Conformal Field Theory) correspondence.
