- Particle characterization (size and surface properties)
Curriculum Vitae
I am a researcher with a background in geoecology and a focus on image analysis and machine learning in environmental applications. My work combines laboratory-based methods with data-driven approaches to analyze complex samples.
After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Geoecology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), I specialized in applied environmental analysis during my Master’s studies in Climate and Environmental Sciences at the University of Augsburg. My Master’s thesis focused on developing and validating a method to extract and quantify microplastics in soil.
Since 2019, I have been pursuing a PhD at the University of Augsburg, where I develop and apply machine-learning approaches for the detection and characterization of microplastics in soil using high-resolution microscopy data. My research focuses on the integration of laboratory methods, image processing, and automated data analysis.
