Your GEOMAR DokTeam

We are the DokTeam, representing you and around 170 other doctoral researchers (DRs) at GEOMAR. So you may be wondering who’s ‘we’ in the DokTeam 2023?
(Updated information about the new DokTeam 2024 members will follow here very soon! If you are already working at GEOMAR, you can check out our webpage on the intranet in the meantime.)

 

 

Daniel Rudloff

RD 1: Ocean Circulation and Climate Dynamics

Phone: +49 431 600-4155
Email: drudloff(at)geomar.de

Hi, my name is Daniel. I first came to Kiel in 2015 to start my Bachelor in climate physics. In 2021 I finished my masters and subsequently started my PhD in January 2022. In my project I examine different model runs and conduct model experiments aiming at a better understanding of coastal warming events in the eastern tropical Pacific. Outside of work I am doing Crossfit and enjoy playing soccer.

Activities:

  • Communicating with the directorate and administration of GEOMAR
  • Participation at the Scientific Council
  • Moderate the mailing list

 

 

Ilana Schiller-Weiss

RD 1: Ocean Circulation and Climate Dynamics

Phone: +49 431 600-4013
Email:  ischiller-weiss(at)geomar.de

Moin moin! My name is Ilana. I came to Kiel in October 2020 after finishing my master's in Climate Physics at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. In my PhD project, I investigate Greenland ice sheet melt and its impact on local circulation in the subpolar North Atlantic using a mix of high resolution models and observations. Outside of studies, I like to go bouldering and enjoy cooking new recipes.

Activities:

  • Survey Group of the Helmholtz Juniors
  • Organizing social events
  • SAB and staff council communication

 

 

Isabel Diercks

RD 4: Dynamics of the Ocean Floor

Phone: +49 431 600-1431
E-Mail: idiercks(at)geomar.de

Moin, my name is Isabel. I have been in Kiel for my Bachelor and returned in 2021, after finishing my Master's in Marine Biology in Rostock. In my PhD project I study microbial communities, sediments and porewater chemistry to understand the formation of large hydrothermal mounds in the Red Sea. In my spare time I like to do sports and care for my indoor jungle.

Activities:

  • Communication with the directorate and administration of GEOMAR
  • Participation at the Scientific Council
  • SAB and staff council communication
  • Taking care of the DokTeam website and intranet
  • Outreach

 

 

Naveen Kumar Parameswaran

RD 2: Marine Biogeochemistry

Phone: +49 431 600-----
Email: nparameswaran(at)geomar.de

Hello! I am Naveen, from India. I came to Kiel for my PhD in November 2021 after my Masters in Computational Sciences at Braunschweig. I am a graduate student at MarData. In my research, I use machine learning techniques to provide a global map of sedimentation rates, and I try to understand what factors influence them. In my free time, I play Ultimate Frisbee:)

Activities:

  • MarDATA communication
  • Moderate the mailing list
  • Organizing social events
  • HSE/ Mental health communication

 

 

Bruna Pandolpho

RD 4 Dynamics of the Ocean Floor

Phone: +49 431 600-2325
E-Mail: bpandolpho(at)geomar.de

Hey I’m Bruna, a Brazilian doctoral researcher working at GEOMAR under a personal DAAD scholarship since 2020. My research project focuses on salt tectonics deformation of the seafloor. My Ph.D. aims to better understand seafloor geomorphology (changes in sedimentation, erosion, faulting, and adjacent subsidence) deformation in order to investigate salt presence and activity in deep-water basins.

Activities:

  • communication and social media activities
  • representing the scholarshipholders in our institution
  • WorkingConditions group of the Helmholtz Juniors
  • FYORD representative
  • communication with PostDoc speakers

 

 

Louis-Maxime Gautreau

RD 4: Dynamics of the Ocean Floor

Phone: +49 431 600-1428
Email:  lgautreau(at)geomar.de

Hello everyone! My name is Louis-Maxime, I am from France. After making a Master's degree in geoscience engineering in Nancy in France, I worked a few years in the industry. I started my doctoral thesis in Kiel beginning of 2021. Within my doctoral project, I am looking at the involvement of magma in the formation of submarine porphyry-epithermal deposits in the northeastern Papua New Guinea. During my free time, I like to practice martial arts and all kind of DIY stuff.

Activities:

  • Taking care of the DokTeam website and intranet
  • Organizing social events
  • Equal opportunities and HSE/Mental health communication
