Short presentation
My research focuses on process-based modelling of physical and biogeochemical processes in lakes, with specific attention for extreme weather events, eutrophication, and climate change. This also involves quality-control, software development, and data handling in the R software. I am currently employed as part of the MEWS project, looking at the impact of extreme weather events on drinking water intakes using 3D modelling, using Mälaren as a case study.
