His research concerns extreme weather and climate conditions, with a focus on both their physical understanding and their wider impacts on the planet and society. His current projects focus on hot and humid climates, as well as societal impacts and responses.
He is completing a PhD at the Institute for Environmental Sciences (IVM) at VU Amsterdam. He holds a degree in aerospace engineering, which he complemented with studies in atmospheric and climate physics in Stuttgart (Germany), Munich (Germany), Paris (France), and Oxford (UK).
In addition, he has conducted research on urban climate mitigation and adaptation strategies at Technische Universität Berlin and the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC), now part of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). He maintains ongoing collaborations with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, where he is also an alumnus of the Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP). He is also a guest researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).
He is interested in bridging disciplines and sectors and has broad interests beyond his core research. He also works continuously with various international institutions, including the World Bank, the Red Cross, and United Nations organisations.
