Current Research Project

My Ph.D. project is part of an interdisciplinary research consortium in the DFG funded priority program Rhizosphere Spatiotemporal Organisation - a Key to Rhizosphere Functions (SPP2089). In this consortium, research groups from various disciplines, such as soil physics, soil chemistry, plant physiology, microbiology, and modeling collaborate to analyze the function and development of the region of soil that is directly influenced by the root (rhizosphere). The aim is to identify spatiotemporal patterns in the rhizosphere and to understand the mechanisms responsible for rhizosphere functions.
In the project MoleBIRD, I am characterizing carbon dynamics in the rhizosphere. I want to understand how root-originated organic compounds shape the composition of the soil organic matter (SOM) pool and which parameters influence this complex mixture. I apply ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) to analyze the small scale processes in the rhizosphere.
I work on the development of analytical methods in the research group BioGeoOmics (Department Analytical Chemistry). To unravel molecular gradients in soil new techniques with high specificity and sensitivity are needed.
