I hold a B. Sc. in Geophysics and Oceanography and an M. Sc. in Integrated Climate System Science, both issued by the University of Hamburg. Currently, I am finalising my PhD thesis entitled "Sea-ice concentration at 1 km resolution from merged thermal infrared and passive microwave satellite measurements" at the Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Bremen. I was a guest researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center between November 2017 and February 2018. My research is focused on sea-ice remote sensing. Specifically, I am fusing sea-ice concentration retrievals from different wavelength regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum to exploit their mutual benefits. Doing this, I create a dataset which is more than the sum of its parts.
