Scientific interests:

I am working on earthquake source imaging using geodetic data with a focus on applying InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture RADAR) data. Beside the things that we can learn from earthquake source model about the earthquakes nature, I am interested in how well we can actually model earthquake sources, e.g. when considering data errors, and, of course, how we can improve our models.

Career:

since Feb 2010 Postdoc with PROGRESS-Project at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ
Dec 2005 – Mar 2010 PhD at ETH Zurich (Switzerland)
Aug 2004 – Nov 2005 Scientific assistent with SFB „Starkbeben“ at University of Karlsruhe
Aug 2004  Diploma in Geophysics at University of Karlsruhe
Sep 1996 – Aug 2004 Student of Earth Science and Geophysics at the universities of Potsdam and Karlsruhe

Experience:

  • experience in seismological field experiments (installation of seismometers, processing of seismic data)
  • teaching assistance in student seismic experiments and seismology classes
