Mission
I'm currently working for the River Ecosystems Laboratory (RIVER) at EPFL performing research on stream ecosystem ecology, ecohydraulics and biogeochemistry. I'm responsible for the RIVER biogeochemistry laboratory, the maintenance of the stream sensor network and related data management and curation. I'm also designing experimental set-ups, preparing field work and equipment and training MSc, PhD students, postdocs, interns
