Research Interests:

At the moment, I am using airborne eddy covariance data (from aircrafts and drones) to understand the environmental drivers for the exchange of carbon, methane and water vapour between the surface and the atmosphere. In my PhD, I modelled and measured changes in hydrological fluxes after partial deforestation using a heavily monitored catchment in the Eiffel region in Germany. This work included the analysis of a large soil moisture network dataset (SoilNet Wüstebach) and the comparison of latent heat fluxes for two eddy covariance stations (forested vs. deforested).
