I am a data scientist with cross-disciplinary background in geospatial data science, ecology and environmental sciences, who is curious about the complexity of human–nature interactions and wants to help both systems thrive together. My work supports sustainable land use management practises and nature conservation by using geospatial data to generate actionable insights for a more sustainable future.
Before joining Agroscope, I worked at the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich, where I helped build global-scale mapping pipelines for ecosystem restoration, climate change adaptation, and biodiversity conservation. I played a key role in the development of the SEED Biocomplexity Index, which contributes to the measurement, monitoring, and financing of nature-based solutions. In my work I have always tried to bridge research with real-world applications, which lead to the early development of Restor - now the world's largest platform for nature sites.
Within the EOA Team at Agroscope, I am developing spatially explicit crop and grassland maps from 1990 to today using Sentinel2 and Landsat satellite imagery. These maps will improve Switzerland's national greenhouse gas inventory and help track developments in the Swiss agricultural sector.
