I completed my PhD in theoretical physics on mesoscopic systems in 2019. After this PhD I moved to environmental sciences for a postdoc at EPFL (ENAC). Since 2015, I have been responsible at MeteoSwiss for the implementation of an operational automatic pollen monitoring network in Switzerland. I co-teach a class on environmental transport phenomena at EPFL (2015-…).
