About

Welcome to my website!

I’m a tenure-track Assistant Professor at EPFL, where I lead the Soil Biogeochemistry Laboratory (SOIL). My group investigates redox processes in soils— reactions that regulate the cycling of carbon, nutrients, and contaminants. We combine molecular-scale analyses in the lab with field studies to uncover the mechanisms behind these fluxes and how they shape soil functions in a changing climate.

I studied Environmental Science at ETH Zurich, where I completed my PhD on the redox properties of iron minerals and received the ETH Silver Medal for my dissertation. After that, I was a postdoctoral fellow in Earth System Science at Stanford University, where I focused on the biogeochemical controls of carbon turnover in soils and sediments. In 2024, my research was recognized with the Jin Jingfu Award.

Through this work, my goal is to improve predictions of soil biogeochemistry and to inform sustainable soil management practices that protect and enhance soil resources.
