Research Areas

Atmospheric physics, multi-scale vortex dynamics, atmospheric blocking and impacts, severe weather, climate change, boundary-layer processes with respect to wind engineering

Research Interests

My research deals with vortex dynamics at different scales ranging from thunderstorms to large-scale atmospheric blocking and its relation to point vortex models using numerical and theoretical approaches. I am also interested in the impacts of these vortices such as tornadoes, flash floods and heatwaves in recent and future climate. Further research topics include atmospheric boundary-layer processes in the context of wind engineering and the relation of the Covid-19 pandemic, social activity and weather parameters.
