I am a PhD candidate in Geophysics specializing in paleomagnetism, geology, and data-driven analysis of Earth’s magnetic field. My research integrates fieldwork, laboratory measurements, and instrument development, and I value clear communication and collaboration in scientific projects. Outside the lab, I recharge and stay inspired through hiking and climbing.
- 2024 Outstanding Early Career Scientist Presentation Award at the 17th Castle Meeting in Utrecht for an oral presentation.
- 2023 AGU Fall Meeting Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) from the Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism, and Electromagnetism section for a poster.
- 2020 DAAD Research Grant (four-year doctoral program) for PhD studies in Munich, Germany.
Research Interests
My research focuses on using paleomagnetism and rock magnetism to reconstruct Ordovician paleogeography and to quantify the long-term behavior of Earth’s magnetic field.
