I am lecturer in the department of Earth Sciences and Engineering at Imperial College London. I lead the Environmental Diagnostics and Analysis group. The research group specialises in developing novel techniques, mostly rooted in numerical modelling and data science, to quantify and predict environmental change at all scales and to propose adaptation and mitigation strategies. We aim to support the green transition while trying to anticipate the pollution issues of that new low-carbon world by consolidating the knowledge base and build the datasets and tools that will be needed in the next decades.
I grew up in landlocked Switzerland but eventually obtained a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Hawaii Pacific University ... essentially because of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his films! After crossing the Pacific from Hawaii to Mexico as part of a scientific expedition, I completed a Master of Science in the department of Oceanography in the School of Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii in Manoa, where I did research on microbial water quality assessment techniques and deep sea hydrothermal vents. With growing concerns for the issue of global climate change, I moved to the Department of Geosciences in Princeton University, where I got my PhD. There I worked on understanding how large scale biogeochemical processes interact with ocean circulation and how well climate models represent the oceans. I then became James Martin Postdoctoral Fellow and NERC Independent Research Fellow in the department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford, developing modelling and data analysis methods to understand the distribution and evolution of trace metals and isotopes in the ocean. I first joined Imperial College London in 2018 as lecturer in climate change and the environment in the Grantham Institute.
