PostDoc in the Department of Water Resources and Drinking Water. My current research goal is to model and map nitrate concentrations in Swiss aquifers, to understand the main environmental and anthropogenic drivers of high nitrate concentrations. My research is a part of the ReCLEAN Joint Initiative of the ETH Domain, which aims to holistically understand and quantify nitrogen fluxes across and within all of Earth’s compartments.
