After a first career in the banking industry as risk and compliance manager, I decided to change for meteorology and climate sciences. I completed a master degree in climate sciences with a focus on atmospheric sciences in 2020 and a PhD in climate sciences in 2024, both at the University of Bern, Switzerland. My PhD was focused on the analysis and verification of hail observations in Switzerland from different sources: dual polarization weather radars, automatic hail sensors and crowdsourced hail reports from the Swiss meteorological services (MeteoSuisse). After finishing my PhD, I started as a project manager in the Wind and Ice team of Meteotest AG, a Swiss private company providing services in weather, climate, environment and computer science.
