Moved from Sweden, where she conducted her breakthrough work, to Germany in 2013, where she was initially based at the Helmholtz Association before moving to Max Planck
Germany has shown very strong performance in traditional fields such as chemistry and the physical sciences, as well as newer ones such as sustainability science. It is the third most prolific country in the Nature Index after the United States and China for research output in the 82 high-quality natural-sciences journals tracked by the index
