I’m a postdoc Leipzig University working on the FLEXPOOL project “Extracting spatiotemporal macroechological patterns using crowd-sourced plant occurrence data” funded by iDiv. I seek to reveal, understand and predict spatiotemporal dynamics and their (parameter dependent) critical transitions. For that I adapt and develop computational methods to (i) identify global or local system characteristics and (ii) reveal the mechanisms that give rise to patterns in our environment. My research focuses on oscillatory behaviour and spans a range of applications: (i) dynamics undergoing sudden changes, such as collisions, (ii) vibration problems, and (iii) neuroscience.
