I am a doctoral researcher working in collaboration with the UK Met Office. I focus on extreme event attribution using medium-range weather forecasts to assess changes in extreme weather events. For now, I am assessing mid-latitude storms, using the storyline approach of event attribution. My supervisory team is Dr Antje Weisheimer, Dr Sarah Sparrow, Dr Fraser Lott, and Dr Nick Leach.
I obtained a BSc in Physics from Heidelberg (Germany) and a MSc in Physics with Extended Research from Imperial College London. Apart from my research, I am interested in evidence-based policy and science journalism.
Previous research projects
- For my BSc, I investigated the multicentennial variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in four coupled climate models. I presented the results of this study at EGU 2020.
- During my research year at Imperial, I studied the interannual variability of tropical cyclones using a statistical-empirical hazard model called STORM which I presented at EGU 2022.
