Annalena Stroh works in the field of numerical modelling of petrological processes, with a particular focus on chemical diffusion, crystal growth and resorption processes, and the quantification of metamorphic and magmatic timescales. Her research combines petrology and geochemistry with physical and mathematical modelling.
A central contribution of her work is the development of new numerical approaches for describing moving phase boundaries in diffusion systems. She has implemented these methods in the open-source software MovingBoundaryMinerals.jl, which enables thermodynamically consistent simulations of diffusion and growth processes in minerals. Her work thus makes an important methodological contribution to quantitative petrology.
In addition, she investigates the statistical quantification of uncertainties in petrological models, including the application of modern Monte Carlo methods. Her research has been published in international scientific journals and presented at conferences.
Through her combination of methodological innovation, interdisciplinary expertise, and scientific independence, Annalena Stroh is an outstanding early-career scientist in her field.
We warmly congratulate her on this well-deserved award.
