Research interests

I am a PhD candidate in the project ‘Tipping Points of the Earth System’ (TiPES) and therefore my research is centered around past (abrupt) climate transitions evident from climate proxy records. I combine a dynamical systems and stochastic processes perspective with statistics and Bayesian inference. In particular, so far I have been concerned with:

• Data-driven reconstruction of dynamical systems
• Low-dimensional conceptual modeling
• Propagation of dating uncertainty
• Bayesian inference of transition times and amplitudes
• Early warning signal analysis.

I am based at the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research and associated with TUM as a guest researcher.
