My main scientific interest is in the area of interactions and feedbacks between atmospheric composition and climate. While at the University of Cambridge, I contributed significantly to the development and exploitation of the UM UKCA chemistry-climate model (4). At KIT, I joint the ICON-ART community and together with my section, we deliver critical contributions to the ICON-ART development and use (3). Questions regarding climate change and the development of our protective ozone layer (1) are key motivators for my work and answers require the combination of observations and simulations. In addition, I have a keen interest in some fundamental IT questions, e.g. data compression (2).

I am scientific coordinator of the Helmholtz-Climate-Initiative Regional Climate Change (REKLIM, https://www.reklim.de/en/) and chair of the European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA, https://www.ecra-climate.eu/). For the KIT I am contributing to an initiative that aims at creating a national research data infrastructure for Earth system sciences (NFDI4Earth, https://www.nfdi4earth.de/)

I am teaching courses in “Theoretical Meteorology” and “Climatology” and I am supervising students and young researcher for their Bachelor-, Master- and PhD-theses in meteorology.
