The academic background includes a bachelor’s degree, diploma, master’s degree, and PhD in meteorology, as well as the titles of Habilitation and Private Docent. Between 1996 and 2000, she completed her bachelor’s studies in meteorology at Kiel Christian-Albrechts University, and in 2003–2004 she completed the Meteorology Diploma program at the same university; the major field of the diploma was climatology and meteorology, and the minor fields were physics and physiology (Thesis: Modeling spectral UV-radiances at the earth’s surface). Between 2004 and 2006, she pursued her master’s degree in Meteorology at the University of Utah (Thesis: The effects of entrainment and mixing processes on the droplet size distributions in cumuli), and between 2006 and 2010 she completed her PhD in Meteorology at the University of Hamburg (Thesis: Investigating environmental changes in the southern North Sea: a combined statistical assessment of climatic and biogeochemical long-term time series). Between 2018 and 2019, she completed a university teaching pedagogy certificate program of approximately 200 units at Justus Liebig University; in 2022 she received her Habilitation at the University of Kassel (Thesis: Impact on climate by land–atmosphere interactions; Venia legendi: Sustainable land use in a changing climate) and in 2023 she was awarded the title of Private Docent. Her research focuses primarily on local and regional climate change and variability; interactions between land use/land cover and climate; the role of vegetation–agricultural production–urbanization processes within the climate system; biodiversity dynamics under climate change; and climate services. Her work centers on a holistic assessment of climate processes and land–atmosphere feedback mechanisms within an interdisciplinary framework, and she has strong academic expertise in these fields. She has teaching experience at both undergraduate and graduate levels, holds a university pedagogy certificate, and has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific papers on climate change impacts, agriculture, land use change, biogeophysical cycles, and biodiversity. Since 2019, she has served as the principal investigator of the sub-project “Dynamic Downscaling of Climate and Land Use Change Feedbacks,” carried out within the project “MAPPY: A Multi-Sectoral Analysis of the Impacts of Climate and Land Use Change on Pollinators, Plant Diversity, and Crop Yields,” funded by ERANET AXIS JPI Climate (Budget: 303,000 Euros). Additionally, since 2018 she has been the lead researcher for the DFG-funded project “Reducing Regional and Local Climate Uncertainty Caused by Land–Atmosphere Feedbacks” (Budget: 353,000 Euros). Between 2004 and 2006, she worked under a research assistantship scholarship in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Utah, USA, which included a full scholarship and tuition waiver (Budget: 60,000 Euros), and throughout her career she has played an active role in coordinating national and international research projects. She contributes regularly to global research networks such as CORDEX Core, CORDEX-FPS Convection, CORDEX-FPS LUCAS, the CLM Community, and FACE2FACE.
