I’m excited to share a professional update. I’ve recently transitioned from the Chair of Hydrology at the University of Freiburg to the Chair of Near-Surface Geophysics—remaining within the same university, but taking on a new role as Akademischer Rat auf Zeit (comparable to an Assistant Professor).

This move marks an important step in the evolution of my research. While my work has focused on flowpath dynamics using stable water isotopes, I’m now expanding this perspective by integrating geophysical methods (especially ERT). These approaches open up new possibilities for observing subsurface processes with different spatial and temporal resolution. Bridging these disciplines offers exciting opportunities to deepen our understanding of environmental systems and to push methodological boundaries.

Alongside this shift, I will continue developing innovative sensors and measurement systems designed to better capture the complexity of hydrological systems.

I’m looking forward to this next chapter—building new collaborations, exploring interdisciplinary ideas, and contributing to advances at the interface of hydrology and geophysics.
