Research assistant at FU Berlin
I have over five years of experience in numerical modelling of Earth system processes, particularly in the intersection between tectonics and the Earth’s surface. My interest is applying this multidisciplinary approach to deep time and more recently to other rocky planets like Mars. I also have a growing reputation for communicating my work in an interesting and digestible way to expert and non-expert audiences alike.
My Interests.
I started out as a geophysicist but have since branched out into tectonics, geomorphology, and oceanography.
Numerical modelling
I have experience modelling landscape evolution with FastscapeLib, and Oregon State Tidal Inversion model (OTIS)
Outreach
Speaking at workshops, public events, interviews for podcasts, expert commentary on tectonics and supercontinents I have done a little of everything but am always up to do more!
Multidisciplinary research
I always try to see the "big picture" in my research, and therefore collaborate with researchers from many disciplines. Present-day Earth is very different to Paleozoic or Proterozoic Earth and I want to find out why.
Latest outreach
In September 2024 I attended the Europlanet Science congress (EPSC) at FU Berlin. As part of that I was invited to be part of "Cosmic Interviews ", where we were grouped with several high school students interested in science, then they could ask us anything about our experience as women in STEM.
Overall the event was a huge success! The students seemed to really enjoy it and I did too! The quote they used for the FU Berlin blog post was something I said off-hand to motivate the students. I didn't think they would end up using it as the official title!
