I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Remote Sensing in Geo- and Ecosystem Research group at Leipzig University. My research focuses on the interface between remote sensing and ecology. I am particularly interested in characterising the spatio-temporal patterns of biodiversity using earth observation and other geo-data.
