My current research interests are Ecophysiology, NMR Metabolomics, Energy
budgets, Salinity tolerance, Osmolytes, Biogeography, Benthic
Invertebrates, Cellular osmoregulation of osmoconformers.

My PhD project is about the Desalination of the Baltic Sea: A study on the
salinity tolerance and biogeographic changes of benthic osmoconformers
in the course of climate change. 
This work involves aquarium experiments in the laboratory.
I am also a certified scientific diver.

I also worked in the field of Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) for over 2 years. Here I worked with tropical seagrasses of Indonesia and Zanzibar and did studies on physiological stress response of seagrasses in relation to SGD (eutrophication and low salinity).

In my masterthesis I studied the salinity tolerance of a novel exotic species in the Baltic Sea - the sea anemone Diadumene lineata.
