I am interested in the ecology of aquatic systems, with a focus on the dynamics between phytoplankton and its grazers in changing environments and along gradients.

I am a member of the graduate school on “Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries” (RTG 2530), working on a project experimentally studying effects of top-down control mechanisms by micro- and mesozooplankton on carbon fluxes.
