Portfolio

This portfolio contains some pieces of research I did throughout my university education. It’s more or less divided by topic. All links lead to repos on my GitHub.

Climate / weather models

• Simulating the Greenland ice sheet using a two-dimensional ice-flow model, that was coded from scratch.
• Influence of CAPE on hail mixing ratio in supercells simulated in CM1
• How does changing grid resolution alter the precipitation forecast in COSMO-CLM?
• Impact of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration on global temperature & precipitation patterns
• Extreme precipitation events under varying CO2 concentration & ice sheet configuration

Remote sensing

• Retrieving sea surface temperature from Sentinel-3B satellite data using optimal estimation algorithm

Traditional stats

• We used a linear regression model to understand the drivers of increased productivity of boreal forests in Scandinavia.

Machine learning

• A random forest model is trained on and predicts the sentiment of US tweets. Ultimately, it is investigated whether classification improves if the location of the tweet is added as a feature.
• Cluster analysis of small-scale temperature data using kmeans algorithm

Questionnaire

• We designed, distributed and evaluated a questionnaire to assess the usefulness of different types of self-designed weather warning maps.

Hardware

• I set up an experiment to understand the warming effect of CO2 in the atmosphere with a live measurement-display.

Software

• robipy is my personal python package with useful functions I sometimes use.

LaTeX

• I designed a poster template for the meteorological institute of Free University Berlin using tikzposter CTAN package.
• And (of course) also a presentation template based on beamer
