I am a biologist working on different aspects of plant ecology since my Master studies. My interest broadly includes plant ecology, multi-trophic interactions, alien plant species and pollination biology.

At the Botanical Garden in Bern I will work on ex-situ plant conservation, addressing the risks and the relevance of different factors for plant performance in ex-situ culture. I will further work together with relevant actors both within and outside academia, in order to implement the findings of my research.

During my PhD at the University of Konstanz in Germany I explored Darwin’s naturalization hypothesis, including different aspects of a plant’s life and multi-trophic interactions. My focus was on how the success of an introduced plant depends on its phylogenetic relatedness to the native community. During my Masters in South Africa I worked in Ndumo Game Reserve and in the Natal Museum in Pietermaritzburg on alien plant clearings and arthropod communities.

I also organize a yearly workshop about R and statistics in Africa.
