Projects

I am involved in the following current projects:

• BioDivHubs - Biodiversität ins Quartier (2023-2028)
• Forschen für Wildbienen - Gemeinschaftsgärten gemeinsam gestalten (2020-2024)
• DMP4CS - Datenmanagementpläne in Citizen Science-Projekten (2022-2024)
• Naturblick - Stadtnatur entdecken (seit 2015)

As an urban ecologist (M.Sc.), my work focuses on the exploration and conservation of urban biodiversity through evidence-based nature conservation interventions. As part of my research activities, I also address the topics of citizen science, science communication and the involvement of other societal stakeholders in scientific processes.
