Scientific profile

My research activities focus mainly on geomorphic processes in mountain areas and are related to sediment budgets and sediment routing: 

• Paraglacial Geomorphology & Sediment Budgets
  
• Geophysical Applications & Survey Techniques
• Geomorphological Mapping, GIS & WebGIS
• Fluvial Geomorphology

Education

• Since 09/2008: Post Graduation study in Geography (PhD), University of Salzburg , Austria, PhD position within the SedyMONT project (ESF Topo-Europe Programme ); individual project 4: "Sediment budgets for glacier forefields (Pasterze & Obersulzbachkees, Hohe Tauern, Austria) - Quantification an temporal variability. A contribution to Climate Change Research in High Mountain Environments"

• September 2007: Graduation in Geography (Diploma), Department of Geography, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany

Working experience

During my studies at the University of Bonn, I was actively involved in two research project concering sediment cascades in alpine geosystems (SEDAG) and the use of radiomagnetotellurics in geomorphology. In addition I worked as a software programmer for the terrestris GmbH & Co. KG using HTML, PHP, Javascript and SQL. Most of my work was related to WebGIS and Webmapping applications. After graduation, I worked for the geofact GmbH doing geophysical surveys. In September 2008, I went to the University of Salzburg to join the Research Group 'Geomorphology and Environmental Systems' and started my PhD.
