Background & expertise
Stella, originally from Hamburg (Germany), has a background in Biology with a focus on Biodiversity and Ecology. Exploring the complexity of life on earth, constantly learning new things, all while working and making a meaningful impact, is her motivation to work in Science. Joining the LSYS group as a PhD candidate, she will be contributing to the understanding of grassland productivity, carbon dynamics and nutrient cycling to help find the driving factors influencing methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soils in Latin America.
