What I love about Science:
I am a climate and marine scientist with particular skills in isotope geochemistry. My career has been fuelled by my interest in anthropogenic climate change/global warming and the subsequent impacts that has on earth. I have worked in various fields trying to build up an understanding of the parameters that control climate change (on anthropogenic and natural, long-term and short-term timescales) and identify the exact impact that it can have on marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
So far, my work on anthropogenic climate change has led me to investigate the nitrogen cycle in healthy and bleached Taiwanese corals, climate change changes in Grear Barrier coral Reef diversity, and greenhouse gas emission quantification from African soils and agriculture. I believe that we cannot truly grasp the changes we see in climate today without looking at the Earth's climate history. I am a specialist for glacial-interglacial timescale climate change making an effort to understand past changes in ocean circulation, and atmospheric CO2 through climate reconstruction using natural archives from calcifying marine organisms.
I believe that the questions around climate mechanisms and marine ecosystem resilience can only be solved in interdisciplinary working groups. It is my goal to provide leadership for such groups to thrive and advance scientific understanding.
Diversity statement:
I highly value a diverse, interdisciplinary, and queer society, and strongly support projects that are helping us becoming more inclusive. My research and personal view of life have greatly benefited from the variety of input received by a diverse group of people from different continents, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, and gender identities, and I would not be where I am today without the hundreds of personal interactions I was privileged to have on each of my journeys.
What I love about Engagement (Science in Art):
I am deeply invovled with thinking about the expression of Science in Art, and engage actively in communicating science and interacting with art on multiple levels. In the past, I have collaborated with artists, journalists, and art teachers to broaden the way in which we can work with science and bring it to a wider audience. Examples of projects include:
1) Long-term ongoing collaboration with established Taiwanese Artist and Art Educator La Benida Hui. Together, we established a travelling exhibition which was showcased in multiple locations across Taiwan and published in art magazines, as well as in an Art-Science Journal (https://www.consilience-journal.com/conciliarte/changing-perspectives).
2) Several radio-based nature series with multiple episodes on Radio Taiwan International in collaboration with Journalist Shangning Postel-Heutz on Coral Reefs, Cimate Change, and Climate desasters (https://de.rti.org.tw/radio/programMessageView/programId/2018/id/107078)
3) Collaboration with the Department of Art at the University of Dundee on providing workshops for undergraduate students on the interaction and visualisation of Art and Climate Change
