Short presentation
I am researcher in isotope geochemistry, focusing on trace metal isotopes and instrument development. My driving force is to explore new methods and technology to detect life (or signatures of life) in space and on early Earth. An interdisciplinary work environment is of great importance since my research focus requires expertise in both microbiology, technology and geochemistry.
