After finishing my studies of Geography, Geology and Geochemistry in Tübingen, I fulfilled my dream to do research the Andes of Latin America. My PhD topic was an interdisciplinary approach to understand ignimbrite distribution, eruption rates and compositions within the context of the Andean Orogeny. After finishing my Phd I worked as a Postdoctoral researcher at the Helmholtz Institute for Resource Technology in the field of mineral exploration. My work involved many different methods ranging from geochemical analysis and dating to GIS-based modelling and multisprectral remote sensing. I love to combine and analyse data and GIS is just the tool to do so:-)
