My team and I will aim together at the successful conclusion of the POMPEI project and more. My two post-docs and my PhD student will work hard in order to produce exciting science and publish productively. I will work hard with them at our research and at supporting their personal professional development.

 

So far, I supervised 3 Diploma theses (BSc), 1 Master and co-supervised 1 PhD student.

Currently, I am supervising Ms. Karen Pascal's PhD project (University of Leeds).
