I am an environmental economist working in strongly interdisciplinary contexts. My research focuses on the economic analysis of trade-offs in the management of multifunctional landscapes and policy options for navigating these trade-offs in the context of a transformation towards sustainability (for more, see Research).

Currently, I am assistant professor in Land Economics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ in Leipzig, Germany in joint appointment with the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. I lead, jointly with Andrea Kaim, the junior research group AgriScape.

I use the blog (formerly known as Skeptische Ökonomie) that is integrated in this website as a tool for formulation and discussion of new ideas, as well as for science communication (both of own work and the work of others).

My extraprofessional interests include (South-)Eastern Europe (a legacy of my Bachelor’s studies), drinking tea, listening to avant-garde jazz, reading (philosophy, history, science fiction and fantasy), watching films and contributing to Wikipedia.
