Sara Hurst is new project manager
Sara Hurst has been supporting us as the new project manager on the KommMa team since October 1, 2026. In this role, she handles key responsibilities within the project, such as communications and project and event organization.
After earning a bachelor’s degree in physics, Sara worked as a visiting researcher at the Ökoinstitut in Darmstadt. She then spent two years studying in Uppsala, Sweden, where she earned her master’s degree in meteorology and climate physics. After completing her studies, she returned to Germany. In her role as a project manager, the 27-year-old is now able to put her previous experience to good use in practice.
She is looking forward to her new role at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Troposphere Research (IMKTRO): “I like that the project works so closely with local communities. This is science that thinks outside the box.”
In addition to organizing the project and planning and conducting meetings, Sara also serves as the point of contact for project participants, advisory board members and mentors.
Welcome to the team, Sara!
