I am an urban ecologist and part of the Human-Nature Relationships in the Anthropocene working group. My work focuses on researching and preserving urban biodiversity using evidence-based nature conservation. As part of this research, I also deal with the topics of citizen science, science communication and the inclusion of other social actors in scientific processes.

I am part of the research areas and working groups:
