- Profile
-
I started my lectureship at the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering in 2011 and moved to the Department of Geography in 2015.
Before 91Ö±²¥, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Nevada (2007-08) and University of Leeds (2009-11).
I completed my doctoral degree in environmental sciences from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich in 2006.
