I am a PhD candidate interested in animal ecology, with a focus on plant-animal interactions. Currently, I study plant-pollinator networks and the pollination success in village habitats, by conducting large scale analyses across 200 study sites in Bavarian villages. My project involves extensive fieldwork throughout the whole flowering season, as well as post hoc lab work and statistical analyses. 

Previous projects encompassed seed dispersal in a mutualistic system between Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) and the spotted nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) with fieldwork in the Swiss Alps, and the habitat use of the rock bunting (Emberiza cia) at the lower Moselle.
