Education & Employment: I hold a 5-year undergraduate degree (Diplom, equivalent to a master’s degree) in Geophysics from the Institut für Geophysik of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster, Germany. In 2011 I graduated with a thesis investigating core-mantle boundary topography using core phases, under the supervision of Prof. Christine Thomas, which was published as a paper in 2016. I continued with doctoral studies at the School of Earth Sciences of the University of Bristol (UoB) under the supervision of Prof. Michael Kendall and Dr. Brian Baptie, graduating in 2016 with a thesis on probing island-to-island variation of seismological parameters along the Lesser Antilles Arc (LAA), which led to the publication of multiple papers, three of which as first author. / Project VoiLA: after my PhD, I extended and deepened my seismic studies of the LAA as a postdoctoral researcher. As a co-author I carried out the geophysical investigation, using receiver functions and earthquake-magnitude distribution analysis, as well as conceptualising and co-writing the manuscripts. This project has led to one additional publications as lead author, and two are currently in preparation (one as lead author). / Project PI-LAB: applying similar methods, I focussed on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), starting to work with newly acquired data from a temporary ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) station network. One key aspect of my work in that project was the processing of the OBS data to develop a seismicity catalogue, which was an essential basis for a large part of observations in this project. I was furthermore involved in conceptualising and co-writing the manuscripts, accompanied by weekly group meetings that are still ongoing. This project has led to four publications with my contribution (one as lead author) and two are currently in preparation (one as second author). / Project SIGHT: in July 2019, I started as postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto Dom Luíz (IDL), focusing on Madeira and the Canary Islands as intraplate hotspots in the Atlantic. I contributed using shear-wave splitting observations, as well as conceptualising and writing the manuscript. This project has so far led to two publications with my contribution (one as lead author) and two more papers with my contributions are in preparation (one as lead and one as second author). / Project UPFLOW: in July 2021, I joined the scientific and outreach team of the OBS deployment experiment in the North Atlantic. This has led to an ongoing collaboration that future proposed projects are currently based on. / Project GEMMA: in March 2023, I started a new postdoctoral researcher position at IDL, focusing on a comparison of previously investigated features around volcanic archipelagos in the North Atlantic. /// Student supervision: During my work at UoB, I was involved in teaching and supervision of undergraduate students, including annual field courses on geophysical prospecting and maths and geophysics tutoring. From 2015 to 2016 I was one of the co-organisers of multiple school classes’ science days at the local science museum. I was also awarded a traveling grant from the University of Kyushu (Japan) in 2014 to work with Prof. Satoshi Kaneshima and gain teaching experience. In addition to postdoctoral research activities, I was then able to extended my teaching experience considerably in early 2017 with a 6-month position as lecturer at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. During that time, I was responsible for the organisation and delivery of two courses (“Applied Geophysics” and “Geophysical Hazards”), organising and conducting a field trip for second year undergraduates, as well as supervising two final year undergraduate projects and assessing third-year undergraduate dissertations. At IDL I have supervised four student projects to date. ///
