Research Interests

My research focuses on a mechanistic understanding of the functioning of ecological systems and the mutual connection of the latter to the diversity of species and their traits. I am specifically interested in

the link between species adaptations, organismic interactions and long term patterns in biodiversity,
restoration ecology with a particular focus on degraded forest systems as well as
concepts of biodiversity conservation under changing environmental conditions.

Take a look at the current research projects and the model gallery
