My PhD advisor introduced me to UFZ as it is a leading institution in my field of study.
I joined UFZ because of its excellent research environment, interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities and advanced scientific infrastructure. It provides an excellent platform to conduct high-impact research in biodiversity and ecosystem restoration, which aligns with my PhD objectives.
