Me

I am an ecological modeler at the Department of Ecosystem Modelling University of Göttingen .

Simulation models in ecology are tools to investigate patterns and processes at spatial and temporal scales that are impractical to study in the field or a laboratory. Manipulations of whole landscape structures or the long-term management effects on ecosystems are examples that are very difficult to study in real systems.

Currently, my main interests are spatial ecology; biodiversity and ecosystem functioning; savanna and dryland ecology; concepts and theoretical ecology.

I often use pattern-oriented approaches and develop my models in C++, NetLogo and R.
