Current project at the WSL:

Doctoral student in the research group Torrents and Mass movements at the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL and the Department of Environmental System Science at ETH Zürich. Project: Investigating debris flow mechanics using flume experiments and field-based 3D LiDAR sensors.

Research interests:

  • Mass movements

    •  Particular focus on shallow landslides and debris flows

    • Soil erosion

  • Landslide susceptibility and hazard assessment

  • Satellite and aerial remote sensing
