I am a senior scientist working at the Center for Development Research on crosscutting issues between human development and nature conservation. My research focus is on global land use and climate change and the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services as well as sustainable development. I have a Bachelor degree in Biology and a Master degree in International Nature Conservation. My doctoral degree is from the field of biodiversity research awarded by Potsdam University. In my current work I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary research on sustainable development.
