I am an ecologist working at the interface of remote sensing and biodiversity science. I am broadly interested in how remote sensing and other spatial predictors can help to monitor species composition and diversity across taxonomic groups, as well as ecosystem function and ecosystem services. My work spans across natural, semi-natural, and urban environments, allowing me to apply these approaches in a variety of ecological contexts.

I am currently working on the SensGrün project, which aims to evaluate hyperspectral sensors for modelling grassland composition and diversity across a gradient of grassland types and land use intensities. Working in the German Biodiversity Exploratories, we have had two successful field campaigns this year and are currently analyzing our data.
