Research Interests

I am currently working as a PhD student at the Institute of Plant Sciences in the Biodiversity Exploratories project (Botany Core project). My research goals are to better understand the effect of land-use intensity on spatial and temporal plant distribution in temperate grassland and forest ecosystems. In addition, I have a strong interest on Swiss and tropical botany, biogeography, Geographic Information System (GIS) and plant conservation.
