About Me

I am a conservation ecologist interested in spatial-, quantitative-, and macro-ecology, biogeography, and biodiversity conservation. I am particularly interested in data and methodological challenges in this realm.
My research focuses on studying the spatial distribution of biodiversity, prioritization of conservation efforts, and understanding factors determining species distributions in time and space, mainly using the overarching methods of species distribution modelling.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Community Ecology, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). I am modelling the distribution of invasive alien plant species across Europe and preparing necessary data to achieve that, a part of the biodiversity Digital Twin project (BioDT).
