About me

I studied Geography at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin because of my interest in ongoing global changes and underlying processes. I really enjoy being outdoors and experiencing nature. Thus, I am happy that I have the opportunity to contribute to a growing body of research, which aims to better understand our complex Earth system in order to sustain our environment for future generations.

My reserach focus is on the use of optical remote sensing data to map and monitor vegetation in (semi-) natural ecosystems and to analyze its behaviour over time.
