I am a Water Resource Management and GIS consultant focused on translating environmental
complexity into practical digital tools. I currently serve as a
Research Assistant at the University of Kassel, contributing to
data-driven agricultural digitalization through the DigiPlus initiative.
My work combines hydrology, remote sensing, machine learning, and geospatial analytics to
study sediment transport, crop dynamics, and soil-erosion risk under climate variability.
In my own words
From hydraulic structures to the soil that feeds us
I graduated in Civil Engineering at BSc. With my first knowledge about the importance of
water resources in nature and human society, I pursued my career in Hydraulic Structures
at MSc. I found out that sediment plays a major role in water resource management, and I
studied sediment transport in rivers, channels, and hydraulic structures.
After a short time, I realized that there is a huge gap between the hydrology and
sedimentation engineering fields, and I continued my career in a PhD to further expand my
knowledge about sediment transport dynamics. In my PhD, I studied the sediment process
in depth. Then I found out that the missing linkage is not between hydrology and geology:
as far as I got, the real source of sediment originates in crop fields. Therefore I
pursued my career in agricultural science. As a research assistant at the University of
Kassel, under the supervision of Prof. Tobias Weber, I am looking to learn about the
future of humankind and to tailor the effects of sediment in water resources to crop
information, in a scientifically criticised manner.
My way of thinking, mostly influenced by the philosophical ideas of Nietzsche,
Wittgenstein, and Kant, helped me to think critically about life and science. Criticism
of myself taught me that I am not the centre of the world, and I believe this opportunity
to live is really unique. Therefore I like to learn more about life itself, like
Schrödinger.
I believe that our way of living in this century is drastically affected by technology and
science. We need to look back and forward at the same time: we are progressing far better
than our ancestors, and we need to learn how to live in this era.
My personal life is always intrigued by things labelled as controversial and
out-of-the-box ideas. I like to criticise everything, from an atom to the universe itself.
Two scientists have always made me wonder: Newton and Einstein. These men changed our way
of thinking in science, while Kant and Socrates changed our perception of understanding. I
believe my personal life is really affected by these giants, and I love to understand a
way of thinking that can enlighten me in this life.
