About me
I have broad research interests in the interdisciplinary fields of land system science and biogeography. While studying Geography, Agrarian Sciences and Geology I became interested in examining recent and past changes in land use and land cover with remote sensing methods. Two semesters abroad in Moscow awaked my Russian soul and, luckily, I could combine both passions by working on post-Soviet changes in European Russia in the framework of my diploma thesis. After finishing my studies I joined the teams of Tobias Kuemmerle and Patrick Hostert as a doctoral researcher, where I am contributing to the knowledge of what drives biodiversity loss. In my doctoral thesis, I am evaluating how land-use change and other human impacts affect large mammals' habitat, species population dynamics, and protected area effectiveness in European Russia.
