Summary of the experiences and competences of Annika
I am a scientist at the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG) in Koblenz, Germany. I mostly work on applied research questions at and in German Waterways.
As our current project deals with MIC observed in weirs and locks made from sheet pile steel, I was very happy to participate the Euro-MIC COST project for exchange with others. I am particularly interested in how to dinstinguish MIC from abiotic corrosion processes and to elucidate the role of SRBs in these freshwater environments.

My current research interest is a geomicrobiological topic looking at microbial induced corrosion using molecular microbiological (NGS) and biogeochemical (microsensors) techniques to investigate the phylogentic and functional characterisitics of corrosive biofilms in German Waterways. I have expertise in field sampling methods (anoxic sampling etc.) and molecular microbiology (DNA extraction procedures, qPCR, NGS). Furthermore I apply microsensors in the field and in the lab to measure high resolution gradients.
