About Me

I am a computational ecologist, modeller and scientific programmer based in Berlin.

Apart from my research, I help students and fellow researchers to improve their workflows and to follow good practices.

Teaching

I teach students and researchers how to make their research workflows efficient and reproducible, using open tools and adopting good practices.

I focus especially on statistics, data analysis and modelling code, but I also developed workshops on version control (Git), and note-taking and second-brain software (Obsidian).

I believe that reproducible, open and efficient workflows are essential for producing high-quality scientific research. Using the right tools and workflows not only enhances the reliability of our work but also significantly improves our quality of life as researchers, making our processes smoother, more reliable, and more satisfying.

A single day spent improving your workflow significantly impacts your research quality for the rest of the year.

You can check out my workshops and my talks, as well as additional content on my YouTube channel.

Research

Currently, I am involved in different research projects mainly focussing on the scale dependency of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in temperate grasslands.

During my PhD, I looked add the effects of biological soil crusts on dryland hydrology using process-based models.
