I am a PhD student working with Prof. Anders Levermann on topics related to atmospheric dynamics and tipping points. I have been working on the interaction of land with the atmospheric circulation with experiments that use simplified topography. With these kind of experiments I look at the expansion of dry zones under CO2 increase and the land-interaction of atmospheric rivers. At the moment I am also working on seasonally bistable systems, where I am interested in how seasonal tipping behaviour relates to longer-term or perennial tipping, and how this relationship depends on the relevant system, forcing, and noise time scales.

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.
