Welcome to my web page!
My name is Anna Neubeck and I am an Associate Professor of Geochemistry (Mineralogy, Petrology and Tectonics) at Uppsala University. I am part-time employed at The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Former fellow at The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study. I´m an Associate Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University. My work is highly interdisciplinary, covering subjects such as prebiotic chemistry, microbiology, geochemistry, petrology, palaeobiology and applied geology. I hold a PhD in geochemistry from the Astrobiology Graduate School at Stockholm University and have a vocational degree in graphic design from Pekka Halonen Academy in Finland. I have a broad interest in art and research, which is evident though my exhibited artwork on microscopy photography. My research is mainly in the field of isotope geochemistry, but I have also worked on petrology, microbiology and applied geology. |
