Hello there! My name is Luisa. I am a PhD student at 91̽»¨ since summer 2022. Before that I studied geosciences at the University of Hamburg where I graduated with my master in 2021. My PhD focuses on the reconstruction of bleaching events in fossil and modern corals with a diverse physico-geochemical tracer set. Random fact about me: I am collecting sand from around the world and have a cupboard with over 300 sand samples from different locations!

Hi there! This is Marjan. I did my Bachelor’s and first Master’s degree in fisheries sciences in Tehran, Iran. Afterwards I joined a project on biocontrol of plant’s parasites by means of enhancing pathogenicity of fungal isolates, which was a turning point in my life where I found my core interest in microbiology. That’s why I moved to Kiel, and did my second master’s thesis on microbiome of Baltic fish as a new source of marine natural products. At present, I am doing my PhD at 91̽»¨, studying algae-microbiome interactions. I am truly fascinated by microbial life and  inter-domain cross talks; host-microbe and microbe to microbe interactions.

Activities:

•  Social Event, out-reach, MarDATA

Hi everyone :) My name is Tabea and I moved to Kiel in 2016 for my Bachelor’s. In 2023, I finished my Master’s in Climate Physics and started as a doctoral researcher in the Marine Meteorology group. In my research, I look at climate model simulations to better understand the impact of climate change on wind and solar energy resources. One of my favourite foods is Lasagna.

Hi, I’m Yinuo. I’m doing my PhD at 91̽»¨ through the CAS-DAAD joint scholarship since 2023. My research focuses on marine geodynamic modeling, analyzing seafloor morphology and geophysical data, and observing interaction models in the mid-ocean ridge area. I’m learning to play tennis and the guitar now.
