Welcome! I am a senior researcher and project manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research where I analyze the empirical impacts of (climatic) disasters on society and critical raw materials for sustainability. My research interests range from climate, development, and environmental economics to political economy. For my research, I use geospatial, climatic, and socio-economic data and methods. In April 2021 I defended my PhD thesis “Geospatial Analysis of Natural Disasters: Economic Impacts, Societal Responses, and Political Bias” at Heidelberg University. Afterwards, I work as a postdoctoral researcher in an ERA-NET project on the impacts of climate change on agricultural land use change in Eurasia.
