Since 2005 Claudia Borries is working at the German Aerospace Center, DLR, in Neustrelitz. During my PhD, which I received in 2011 from the Free University of Berlin, I studied the signatures of planetary waves in the ionosphere. Followingly, my research focus have been the effects of ionospheric storms in mid-latitudes. In 2015, I received a grant to build-up a young academics group at DLR, studying ionosphere storm effects in mid-latitudes. In parallel, I was acting in the ESA Space Weather Network as coordinator of the Ionosphere Expert Service Centre. Since 2019, I am head of the department for Solar-Terrestrial Coupling Processes in the newly founded DLR Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics.
