Since June 2019 I moved with my group as a senior scientist to the Swiss Institute of Snow, Forest and Landscape (WSL), while keeping my laboratory and teaching activities at ETH Zurich. The position is a joint position between WSL and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) to promote novel, interdisciplinary work. My previous position was an SNSF Professorship of Environmental Fluid Mechanics at ETH Zurich, which has allowed me to establish a strong research group at the frontier of environmental flows and transport, tackling interdisciplinary issues related to aquatic ecosystems that span traditional subject boundaries of engineering, biology and chemistry.

Focalpoints

The Environmental Fluid Mechanics group blends hydraulics and biology to gain a mechanistic understanding of physical-biological couplings in flow and transport processes, both in laboratory settings and in real-world systems.
