Research Interests
My research interest lays in understanding ecological processes and systems in general and with a focus on synecology. I am curious about exploring methods such as decision trees and artificial neural networks to gain a better insight into the complex interactions comprised in ecological systems. I think ecosystem services are an interesting and promising tool to make ecosystem research more appealing and intuitive.
For my PhD I am working on relating biodiversity with ecosystem (dis-)services such as tick abundance, the prevalence of lyme disease and carbon sequestration in landscapes with different degrees of fragmentation and landuse-intensity.
