About

Welcome to my website!

I am a tenure track assistant professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne. I lead the Soil Biogeochemistry Laboratory (SOIL) in the Environmental Engineering Institute. My group aims to uncover the mechanisms of redox-dependent biogeochemical fluxes in soils using molecular-level analyses in the laboratory and field. Our research was recognized in 2024 through the Jin Jingfu Award. I was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University in the department of Earth System Science from 2019 to 2022 where I studied biogeochemical controls on carbon turnover in soils and sediments. I hold a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Environmental Science from ETH Zurich and obtained my PhD from ETH Zurich in 2019. I was awarded the ETH Silver Medal for my dissertation work in which I developed novel approaches to quantify the redox properties and reactivities of iron minerals.
