Education (full CV)
2005
Dr. sc. nat. (PhD), ETH Zurich, Switzerland
2001
Degree in systematics and ecology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Research Interests (detailed)
  • Herb-chronology: ecological applications and methodological advancements
  • Plant Ecology: phenotypic plasticity, life-history changes, growth and structural responses in perennial forbs to changing environments
  • Anatomy / Ecophysiology: conduit diameter in forbs and trees in response to changing environments, lignification patterns, water status of plants
  • Image analysis: automated image analysis solutions for ecological applications
