About

Welcome to my webpage!

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 understand the fundamental principles and processes that govern the biogeochemical cycling of key elements in soil. 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.
