• Crop physiology
• Crop water stress
• Soil properties
• Root growth modelling

Education

2012-2014: Master´s degree - Agricultural Science and resource management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ARTS) ,University of Bonn

Thesis title: Uncertainties in reference evapotranspiration calculation in Southern Germany

Fieldwork / Research assignments

• Field work rhizotrone experiment in Selhausen
• Crop growth characteristics and fluxes measurements
• Consideration of isohydric and anisohydric behaviors in gas fluxes modelling
• Improvement of root water uptake and gas flux simulation through improvement of root growth model
• Calibration and validation SVAT model
• Improved SVAT model will serve as a virtual model to improve crop model in CLM4.5
