Postdoctoral Researcher at Senckenberg Nature Research Society
Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Forrest is a postdoctoral researcher based in Frankfurt with a decade of experience probing earth system processes—especially the interactions between fire, vegetation, and climate—through data-driven modelling. Trained originally in Mathematics, Physics and a PhD in experimental Particle Physics from the University of Glasgow, he brings rigorous quantitative and experimental sensibilities to ecological and climate questions. Since 2010 he has embedded those skills in long-term research at Senckenberg, combining programming and modelling with a clear conviction that high-quality data should remain central to scientific inference. His background in particle physics gives him an unusual edge in handling complex datasets and uncertainty quantification in earth system science.
