Center Assistant 2020-2024 Elizaveta Felsche studied Physics (M.Sc.) and Philosophy (B.Sc.) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. During her stay abroad in Montreal, Canada, and later in her master thesis, she participated in the ClimEx project, investigating the influence of Climate Change on extreme weather events. In parallel to her studies, Elizaveta gained practical experience at Allianz working in IT Project Management and organizing several summer school projects for adolescents. Elizaveta joined the CDTM management team in 2020. Her research deals with the investigation of predictability of extreme events like heatwaves and droughts and the influence of Climate Change on the evolution of those.
