Research Interests

My motivation to work on seismological phenomena is to develop a broad picture of the planet and its properties using different methods of mathematics, physics and geosciences. I'm currently working on characterising subduction styles of tectonic plates using earthquakes that originate in the Outer Rise region of the subduction zone. The key to set up a global system which can be used to draw conclusions on seismological observations is the combination of many data set, e.g. gravitational data and global seismogram arrays.
During different research stays and scientific projects I worked on in the past, I got to know different ways to look at Planet Earth, ranging from geoecological feedback mechanisms over thermodynamical simulations in the Outer Core to the astronomical role planets play in their planetary host system. I believe that the phenomena that occur on the planet are worth investigating in ways that are just as diverse as their nature.
