Research Focus:

• Regional inversion system for quantifying CO2 sources and sinks in the mesoscales
• Atmospheric transport simulations using regional and global models
• Biosphere and ocean diagnostic flux models of CO2

Research Interests:

• Inverse modelling systems of atmospheric CO2 concentrations
• Numerical models of atmospheric differential equations
• Climate projections based on understanding biosphere-atmosphere carbon cycle interactions
• The Troposphere retrievals using satellite remote sensing monitoring
• DATA processing using statisticcal programming

Research Activities:

• Pre-processing the data assimilated in the CarboScope regional inversion system:
  • Atmospheric measurements of CO2
  • CO2 prior fluxes and emission inventories
• NEE optimization
• Analysing the posterior results

Projects:

I am a PhD researcher at the MPI-BGC Systems conducting a PhD project within the VERIFY project (funded by the European Commission, H2020). The goal is to quantify CO2 flux budgets over Europe at continental and national scales based on independent verification using Top-down method for penultimate years (i.e. current - 1)
