Background
Since 2018 PhD student at the Chair of Terrestrial Ecology, Technische Universität München under the supervision of Dr. C. Hof. Topic: Development of multidimensional models integrating different scales and taxons for a better understanding and projection of the effects of climate and land use change on the bavarian fauna 2015 – 2018 M.Sc. Ecology and Evolution at Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main. Master Thesis at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) under the supervision of Dr. C. Hof, Prof. K. Böhning-Gaese and Prof. T. Müller: “Direct and indirect effects of climate change on the European spotted nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes)” 2011 – 2015 B.Sc. Bio Sciences at Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg. Bachelor Thesis at the Centre for Organismal Studies (COS) under the supervision of Prof. M. Wink and Prof. T. Braunbeck: “Revierkartierung ausgewählter Brutvogelarten des Handschuhsheimer Feldes, Heidelberg, im Frühjahr bis Frühsommer 2014” (Breeding range mapping of selected breeding birds in a cultivated area north of Heidelberg during breeding season in 2014) Biodiversity and climate change are the two topics that are most important to me, and I like sharing my knowledge and fascination with people. During my bachelor in biosciences and my master in ecology and evolution, I gave guided tours of the local zoo, and taught several courses on biodiversity and climate change at summer schools. I also started birding and soon wanted to learn how to analyse and gain insights from such observations. During my master thesis, I learned how to combine these topics. For my master thesis, I began learning statistical models and analysed the direct and indirect climate change effects on a European bird species, the spotted nutcracker. I started my PhD in the BioChangeLab in 2018, where I model reliable species trends from highly heterogeneous observation data, try to identify reasons for these trends and project possible future developments.
