Scientific Interests
I'm working at the interface between machine learning and environmental science. My research currently focuses on the detection of extreme events in Earth observation data (such as fAPAR, NDVI, carbon fluxes). The question of how climate extremes affect ecosystems is of high importance for understanding climate-carbon feedbacks and hence future climate predictions. I try to identify large-scale extremes in impact variables and trace them back to climatic drivers and external disturbances.
I'm also part of the Department for Biogeochemical Integration at the MPI for Biogeochemistry in Jena.
