Research:
I am particularly interested in studying and evaluating the implementation of conservation and restoration measures that can benefit people and biodiversity, especially in tropical countries. I have a special interest in community and network ecology, bioacoustics and birds in general. Capacity strenghtening, knowledge transfer, public awareness and other topics related to DEIJ are central to my projects.

Education:
2022: PhD in Ecology at the University of Göttingen, Germany
2019: MSc in Conservation Biology at the University of Bern, Switzerland
2015: BSc in Biology at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
