About me

I'm a senior research scientist at the Leibniz-Institute for Baltic Sea Research in Warnemünde and member of the working group Dynamics of regional climate systems. In my research I try to understand how longterm variability in the atmosphere and ocean affects Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea on timescales of 10 to 1,000 years. For my research on the teleconnection between the North Atlantic Ocean and Northern Europe, I was recently awarded the 2023 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award in the Ocean Sciences division at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly.

Current research

• I established a working group as part of the Baltic Earth Network. The primary objective of this group is to investigate the influence of the Atlantic Ocean on the Baltic Sea region.
• Downscaling of global climate simulations (CMIP6 projections) to analyze regional climate changes patterns.
• Disentangling climate variability on different time scales

Teaching

I am a co-supervisor of the graduate course 'Climate of the Earth System' introducing students to fundamental processes of the climate system. For more information click here.
