معرفی
Anna-Catharina Brauns serves as a Research Associate and Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Geology at Leibniz University Hannover's Faculty of Natural Sciences. Her position combines research responsibilities within the Working Group on Tectonics, Structural Geology and Tectonic Geomorphology with teaching duties for undergraduate geoscience programs.
Academic Background:
- 2025: M.Sc. in Geosciences
- 2021: B.Sc. in Geosciences
Her research specializes in the Numerical Modeling of Earthquake Cycles on Faults, applying computational methods to understand tectonic processes and seismic hazards. This work bridges structural geology with quantitative geophysics, focusing on the mechanical behavior of fault systems over geological timescales.
Teaching responsibilities include delivering the B.Sc. modules Field Methods and Tectonics and Structural Geology, where she trains students in geological field techniques and theoretical frameworks for understanding crustal deformation.
Professional Leadership:
- 2025–present: First Chairwoman, Association of Friends of Geosciences Hannover eV
- 2022–2025: Deputy Chairwoman, Friends of Geosciences Hannover eV
- 2021–2022: Secretary, Student Council Hannover
- 2019–2022: Member, Geosciences Council (including roles in Habilitation and Study Commissions)
Her institutional service demonstrates strong commitment to academic governance and student representation within the geosciences community.
