Current work

I am a PhD student at the IOW. Within the ILWAO project I look at turbulence and mixing caused by internal waves over a wide range of frequencies, both within the water column and near sloping boundaries. Measurement campaigns in the Bornholm Basin of the Baltic Sea consist of transects (CTD & shear microstructure and ADCP) in addition to moored instrumentation (ADCPs and CTD sensors). The project has a modelling side too, which, at the IOW, is done by Knut Klingbeil.
