Thomas Berndt (Peking Univ.) is visiting scientist of our faculty
Colloquium "Reconstructing ocean water oxygenation through magnetic FORC measurements of biogenic magnetite" on June 15th 12:15 in GEO 1550
Thomas Berndt is a geophysicist originally from Bremen, Germany, whose current paleomagnetic and rock magnetic work includes the magnetism of extraterrestrial material, nanoparticles and bioparticles. His academic career has led him from studies in Southampton, Edinburgh, Brussels and Madrid, a PhD at Imperial College (London) and the Boya Post-Doctoral Fellowship of Peking University to his current Assistant Professorship at the Dept. of Geophysics in the School of Earth and Space Sciences there. Over the next three months at the Bremen Magnetics Lab, Thomas Berndt plans to test a newly devised method for detecting different types of magnetofossils in order to use them as magnetic biomarkers of the bacterial environment in marine sediments. Those who would like to visit him (GEO 4120) or meet him at his faculty colloquium talk, can greet the creative and polyglot scientist optionally with "Nihao", "Hi!", "Salut!", "¡Hola!" or the classic Bremen "Moin!".
