Curriculum Vitae and Research Interests

Philip Rostosky studied meteorology at the University of Hamburg and received his masters degree in 2015. In 2016 he started his PhD in the "Remote Sensing of Sea Ice" group at the University of Bremen, Institute of Environmental Physics. The PhD was part of the (AC)³ project http://www.ac3-tr.de/ .He achived his doctoral degree in 2020. He is now continuing his work in the "Remote Sensing of Sea Ice" group as a postdoc in the IceSense project.

His main research interests are remote sensing of snow depth on sea ice and other sea-ice related parameters using satellite radiometers.
