In January 2020 I started setting up the Postdoc Academic Carreer Support Centre (PACT) at GEOMAR.

From 2012 to 2020 I coordinated the Helmholtz Graduate School for Ocean System Science and Technology (HOSST). In the joint Transatlantic German-Canadian Research School we offered trainings to the next generation of scientists to become advocates for the ocean. To rise the awareness for the ocean issues, we organized weekly seminars and yearly summer schools.

I am a volcanologist. My research focus lies on the detection of far travelled volcanic ash from explosive volcanic eruptions. Volcanic ash layers, or tephra layers enable an independent comparison of individual palaeo-environmental records from the ocean, land, lakes and ice cores, and help to test the synchronicity of events. 

My working area is the Northern Hemisphere, from Europe to Far East Russia. I trace visible and cryptotephra layers to their eruption source using chemical fingerprinting methods.

I am a trained project manager. From 2007 to 2012 I coordinated the german-russian project KALMAR "KALMAR: Kurile-Kamchatka and Aleutean Marginal Sea-Island Arc Systems": Geodynamic and Climate Interaction in Space and Time". I organized and participated in land expeditions on Kamchatka and ship expeditions in the North Pacific and the Bering Sea.
