Academic Qualifications:

Dr. rer. nat. (Doctor of Natural Sciences), Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany
MSc in Meteorology, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany
BSc in Meteorology, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany

Positions:

Aug - Sep 2017 Running an atmospheric measurement campaign in Palau which is located in the Pacific Ocean
March 2015 - February 2018 PhD Student at the Freie Universitaet Berlin in cooperation with Bodeker Scientific and the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA)
Aug-Oct 2016 EUMETSAT Radio Occultation Meteorology Satellite Application Facility Visiting Scientist at the Met Office, Exeter, UK
Sep-Oct 2015 EUMETSAT Radio Occultation Meteorology Satellite Application Facility Visiting Scientist at the Met Office, Exeter, UK
March 2014 - Juny 2014 Internship at Bodeker Scientific
January 2013 - April 2013 Internship at the dutch research company TNO in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Current Research:

Combination of measurements from different instruments into site atmospheric state best estimates.
Propagation of measurement uncertainties.
Tangent linear radio occultation retrieval and the estimation of structural uncertainties in the tangent linear radio occultation retrieval.
Development of a method to correct radiosonde temperature biases prior to assimilation into a numerical weather forecast system. Radio occultation bending angles are used as a reference and the Met Office operational numerical weather prediction system is used for the double differencing approach.
Ground-based reference quality measurements of the atmospheric state, e.g. radiosondes, ozonesondes, frost point hygrometer.

Scholarships and Distinction:

March 2015 - 2017: Doctoral Research Grant German Academic Exchange Service
2015 AGU Outstanding Student Paper Award
2013-2014: Several scholarships from the German Academic Exchange Service as part of the Transformation Partnership with Egypt
