- Structured decision making for conservation biology
- Community ecology
- Land use and management
- Science communication

Making scientific knowledge applicable and understandable for society and stakeholders is one important prerequisite for a successful transition to a sustainable future and effective nature conservation. I see my future within the field of interdisciplinary science and communication that involves cooperations between scientists, decision makers and stakeholders for an effective and structured, transparent process in decision making and conservation.

My research interests include a holistic approach in community ecology in combination with habitat restoration regarding land use and management strategies; specifically, within the field of soil science. Soils are the foundation to aboveground diversity, food production and other important ecosystem services like greenhouse gas regulation and therefore represent an ideal interdisciplinary field to develop integrative conservation approaches that take different stakeholder interests into account.

My previous projects involved mammal predator-prey interactions in regard of current and future management strategies, as well as restoration management of plant communities and seed banks in relation to land use and ungulate grazing regimes.
