My research focuses on using tree-ring proxies, including stable isotopes, to reconstruct past climate conditions across different environments and regions.

In recent years, I have applied δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C isotopes to investigate climate variability in the central Peruvian Andes and its relationship with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon.

At Naturalis, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the ISOCHRONOLOGY project, where I apply my expertise in tree-ring stable isotopes to develop a stable oxygen isotope chronology for the Low Countries (1300–1600 CE). This reference chronology will support the dating of timbers with limited tree rings (approximately 40–80 rings) from historic buildings, archaeological sites, and shipwrecks.
