BSc, MSc, PhD
Expertise
I use numerical Earth system models to understand the links between climate and biogeochemical cycles, and how signals of environmental change get preserved in geologic archives.

Research interests
I'm interested in understanding internal variabilities of the carbon cycle and its reaction to external forcings throughout Earth history. To do so, I use and develop numerical Earth System models to perform sensitivity studies and test scenarios based on empirical evidence. In addition, I work on numerically-informed interpretative frameworks for proxy signals. During my PhD, I investigated Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs), major perturbations of the oceanic carbon cycle in the geological past. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Meteorology.
