About me
I am currently a Climate Scientist at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Harvard University. My research focuses on atmospheric aerosols and greenhouse gases, examining their interactions, emissions, and impacts on climate dynamics. My current work investigates aerosol - volatile organic interaction, their radiative forcing effects, and their collective influence on climate modeling and policy development.
Prior to Harvard, I was a Postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Vienna, collaborating with Prof. Hinrich Grothe on urban aerosol emissions and their relationship to greenhouse gas concentrations. I completed my Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in December 2020. My doctoral work, which used atomic force microscopy and spectroscopic techniques for studying sustainability of materials, received the Maria-Schaumayer Stiftungsaward in October 2022.
From 2013 to 2015, I designed and synthesized precursors for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), contributing to research on greenhouse gas capture and storage technologies.
I hold an M.Sc. in Physical and Analytical Chemistry from the Technical University of Vienna (May 2018, thesis award from the Austrian Chemical Society) and a B.Sc. in Technical Chemistry.
