-====== Current group members =====
+====== Current Group Structures and Members =====
-Senior Scientists, Postdocs, Junior Scientists and PhD students (state May 2018).
+Usually, as a **university professor** you work with a group of postdocs, PhD students and master students. I have done this many years at the University of Göttingen and since 2006 as lecturer/reader/professor at the University of Reading in the UK. I am continuing this activity with a portion of my time. Currently this involves (co-)supervision of seven PhD students and two master students.
-Following data protection laws I have removed all personal information about group
-members from this website. Currently there are about 35 members in my group (40 if you
-count in Co-Supervision).
-===== Permanent Positions =====

-===== Temporary Positions and PhD Students (Principle Supervisor) =====
+**Deutscher Wetterdienst** is a federal institution with a strong business area of research. I have been leading the data assimilation division of DWD 2010-2021, with about 35-37 scientists in my group in 2020 (18 of them permanent). We now restructured into two divisions related to data assimilation, one on algorithms for initialization together with ensemble control (FE11), the other on observations modeling and verification (FE12).
