About me

As a graduate geographer, I have specialized in cartography and geoinformation processing, since the beginning of the 90s. In these two fields I support teaching and the advancement of the curricula in the Bachelor and Master level. Additional I teach specialist knowledge and skills for the application of geomedia in geography education at schools, with the aim to equip the students of teaching professions with the skills they need for the critical and successful use of geomedia in geography lessons.

I have a special interest in the visualization of geographic data to advance the communication of research outcomes. Skills in project management, computer science, grafic design, implementation of internet pages and intercultural communication support my work.
