About Me
I am a landscape ecologist motivated to conduct and link scientific research with applied spatial ecology and conservation. I have been involved in multidisciplinary work, including alpine and coastal phytogeomorphology and Environmental Niche Modelling for the conservation of priority species and habitats. Over the last years, I have explored the use of close-range photogrammetry and drone systems (UAS) in biodiversity mapping and ecological monitoring. I also strive to include these topics in education and capacity building projects aiming at the sustainable use and management of natural resources.
