Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Cindy De Jonge. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Cindy De Jonge is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich, specializing in organic biogeochemistry and environmental microbiology. She employs various methods to investigate environmental changes using brGDGTs and lacustrine sediments as primary data sources for reconstructing past climates and chemical environments. De Jonge's current research focuses on linking brGDGT distributions found in soils, rivers, and lakes to the diversity of bacterial producers, thereby enhancing the understanding of environmental dependencies. Her collaboration efforts span multiple countries, utilizing GDGT biomarkers in paleo climate studies on lakes in Ethiopia, Romania, Canada, Chile, and Switzerland. She actively supervises undergraduate and postgraduate students, guiding research on various projects, including studies of aquatic environments and paleoclimate reconstructions using diverse geochemical techniques.
