Claudia Borries

C. Borries received the Diploma degree in geoinformation from the University of Applied Sciences in Neubrandenburg, Germany, and the Ph.D. degree from the Free University Berlin, in 2011. From 2005 to 2011, she conducted her Ph.D. work with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) studying the signatures of planetary waves in the ionosphere. Following, her research focus were the effects of ionospheric storms in mid-latitudes. In 2015, she received a grant to build-up a young academics group at DLR. In parallel to leading this research group, she was acting in the period (2015–2021) in the ESA Space Weather Network as a Coordinator of the Ionosphere Expert Service Centre. Since 2019, she has been the Head of the Department for Solar-Terrestrial Coupling Processes in DLR, Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics in Neustrelitz, Germany. She works with her team in the analysis of thermosphere-ionosphere coupling with processes from above (magnetosphere and solar wind) and from below (atmospheric waves). Her research interests include studying thermosphere-ionosphere perturbations during storm conditions, such as storm enhanced densities and travelling ionospheric disturbances.
