I am a trained geographer working at the interface of remote sensing and biodiversity science. My research focuses on how spatial data can be used to monitor species composition, biodiversity, ecosystem function, and ecosystem services. I apply these approaches across natural, semi-natural, and urban environments, enabling their use in a variety of ecological contexts.

I have contributed to several international and interdisciplinary research projects. These include the CABO project in Canada, where I evaluated plant diversity models; a DFG-funded project in the tropical montane rainforest of southern Ecuador, focusing on remote sensing–based habitat modeling; and the interdisciplinary SensGrün project within the German Biodiversity Exploratories in Germany, where I modeled grassland composition and diversity using hyperspectral sensors across gradients of land use and grassland types.

Currently, I am an interim professor at the Geoinformation in Environmental Planning Lab at TU Berlin. My ongoing research includes projects on post-disturbance forest succession and remote sensing-based conservation monitoring to support environmental planning.
