Fields of Activity

  • Post-doc in the project „Coastal fish monitoring in Schleswig-Holstein (KüFi2)
  • Coordination of coastal fish sampling
  • Analysis of the coastal fish fauna (biodiversity, habitats, food web positioning) and development of adequate indicators to evaluate the fish community

Research Interests

  • Coastal habitats and biological communities (fish and macroinvertebrates)
  • Species interactions
  • Non-native organisms and their impact on native communities
  • Biological traits
  • Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
