Scientific interests
I am primarily interested in the history of climate change and geohazards, with a specific focus on their lake sedimentary records. After completing my internship in Canada at the University of New Brunswick in 2020, my research has been predominantly centered on understanding the impacts of extreme marine inundation on coastal lake ecosystems. In 2024, I was awarded the Bekker scholarship. The postdoctoral position at the University of Bremen in Germany, associated with the scholarship, is dedicated to deciphering the records of volcanic winters from lake sedimentary archives.
