Research Interests and Motivation

I am a postdoctoral researcher with a background in environmental physics. My main interest lies in bringing optical measurement concept into applications outside typical lab environments.

At the moment, this means setting up a dual comb spectrometer in the near infrared for the remote sensing of trace gases like CO₂ and CH₄ and their isotopologues along atmospheric paths of multiple kilometers.
