I am an observational physical oceanographer and made my PhD in 1999 at the University of Hamburg, Germany. I did a Postdoc at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, USA, and at the University of Concepcion, Chile. From 2002 to 2025 I was a researcher at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Kiel, Germany, where I now act as the head of Seagoing Technology embedded in the Ocean Research-Technology Centre (ORTC).
My research interests are related to the broad range of processes that control the large-scale ocean circulation of mass and heat and other properties. I am using a variety of observational tools to understand the large (1000s of km) to sub-mesoscale (<1km) ocean processes.
