Our vision: The best science arises when independent researchers are given consistent support to pursue questions they define.

  • I am interested in understanding the drivers of the spatial and temporal variation in the tropical carbon cycle with a particular focus on the role of Amazonian peatlands, one of the world's most carbon-dense ecosystems.
Our objective is to enhance support for research within the faculty and strengthen the collaboration between Principal Investigators (PIs) and the administration to ensure greater efficiency for both parties. Key focus areas include: (i) improving the support system for grant proposal preparation and implementation, (ii) optimizing administrative processes, and (iii) expanding childcare services on campus—including nursery care for children under 2.5 years old—to better support researchers balancing their professional and parental responsibilities.
