2025: Participation in the Karthaus Summer School on Ice Sheets and Glaciers in the Climate System
since 2024: PhD researcher within the DeLIGHT framework, Institute of Geography, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
The primary task of my PhD research involves developing a deep-learning emulator of the Glacier Drainage
System (GlaDS) model. The emulator will eventually be coupled with the Instructed Glacier Model (IGM),
allowing us to simulate both, the evolution of ice flow as well as water resources.

I am interested in the mathematical description of all things Earth-system-related. My current research focuses on the evolution of glaciers and water resources in glaciated environments with climate change. I use different modelling techniques, ranging from numerical modelling to deep learning, to simulate subglacial hydrology of glaciers primarily situated in the Alps, Scandinavia, and High Mountain Asia.
