Forest Structure Characterization from SAR Tomography
(2019)Forests cover about 30 % of the Earth's land surface. They are an important element of the carbon and water cycle as they can act as both sinks and sources. As a result, they can influence the local and global climate. At the same time, forests are an important economic factor as they provide wood and food, and of high ecological importance as they provide habitat for numerous plants and animals. Due to its importance, the mapping, inventory ...Doctoral Thesis -

Phosphorus availability and its interaction with plant belowground carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus input into a Ferralsol
(2019)Tropical grasslands cover 44% of the worldwide grassland area and are mainly grown on Ferralsols and Acrisols. These highly weathered soils usually contain a low concentration of plant available phosphorus (P), due to the strong P sorption onto the soil solid phase and/or the small total P content, which often limits plant growth. More than half grass-alone pastures in South America are degraded due to over-grazing and low plant available ...Doctoral Thesis -

Deciphering the Signaling Network Landscape of Breast Cancer Supports Precision Medicine
(2019)Signaling networks control virtually all cellular processes from cell death to tissue homeostasis, and most prominently, network dysregulation is linked to cancer. In fact, cancer is known as a signaling disease, and nearly all cancer therapeutics are targeting signaling molecules. In spite of its relevance, the characterization of cancer-signaling has lagged behind bulk genomic and proteomic profiling, thereby hindering the progress and ...Doctoral Thesis
