I took the chance to join the TRR because I really like the interdisciplinary approach and the exchange between students and supervisors from different backgrounds. That is also what I especially like about my subtopic. Since my bachelor degree I am interested in geochemical processes in nature and how isotopes can be used to track and understand them. After my first contact with cosmochemistry and meteoritics during my masters I now want to dive deeper into the history of the Solar System. The accretion history and differentiation processes of terrestrial planets and especially the moon are topics which I will work on during my PhD in the TRR.
