Edward Coltman, SFB 1313 doctoral researcher (associated to research project A02), had the great pleasure to interview Prof. Insa Neuweiler, member of SFB 1313's Advisory Board and professor of Fluid Mechanics and Environmental Physics in Civil Engineering at the Leibniz University of Hannover.
Insa Neuweiler is the first female speaker of the newly introduced SFB 1313 Anneliese Niethammer Lecture Series, which aims to give women in the science a platform to present their scientific work and intends especially to encourage women to pursue a career in the natural sciences. On 5th February 2019, she talked on: Data assimilation with soils and the question of the length scales.
During the interview, we get to know about Insa Neuweilers affiliation to SFB 1313 and her research interests. As she spoke within the Anneliese Niethammer Lecture Series, she tells us what advices she would give to young female researchers concerning pursuing an academic career, and, in general, to young researchers concerning maintaining momentum during their research projects.
