Biography:

Julia is originally from Germany. She came to Ireland the fist time in 2005 as an exchange student in Maynooth. For her academic year abroad (2005-2006), she was awarded a ‘Baden-Württemberg Scholarship’ by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts (Germany). Back to Germany, Julia graduated in 2008 from Eberhardt Karls Universität, Tübingen, Germany in Geo-Ecology (Diplom-Geoökologin).

She is now pursuing her doctorate degree under the supervision of Dr Conor Murphy and Professor John Sweeney.
