I'm a doctoral candidate in ecology at ETH Zurich and Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL. I am a landscape ecologist. Just like a landscape photographer, I like to zoom out when I'm looking at things, and see the bigger picture. And my favourite type of picture is that of biodiversity.
I want to use my work to better our understanding of how biodiversity patterns are distributed in space, how they are affected by human actions, and how we could mitigate these negative consequences.
Currently, I'm using a network ecology approach, by using food webs to study ecosystems and how they are affected by climate change and human disturbance across Switzerland. Interested? Feel free to get it touch!
