I am a postdoctoral researcher in the FREEL project at the department of Aquatic Resources with an interest in the microchemical composition of otoliths. I am currently working on eel otoliths and the habitat choice of European eel in Swedish waters.

Educational credentials

I obtained my PhD from the Constructor University Bremen, Germany in cooperation with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in April 2023, in the working group of Philipp Fischer. Here I looked at the effects of climate change and climate variability on the distribution of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Arctic. I was also part of the Scientific Diving team at AWI.

I obtained my master's degree (2015) from Rostock University and my bachelor's (2012) degree from Greifswald University.
