I'm a wildlife ecologist with a research background in landscape connectivity, and applied conservation science. In particular, my solution-oriented research focuses on investigating the ecological interactions between terrestrial mammals and their environment, and the mechanisms that drive their movement and resource use. This information is critical in helping us understand how best to improve global biodiversity conservation and restoration strategies, and provide policy guidance.
In my current position at the Chair of Wildlife Ecology and Management, and within the Confobi project, I investigate the joint-effect of retention forestry and landscape structure on large mammal communities.
