I am a conservation biologist, with particular interest in birds and plants. I have previous research experience in the grasslands and coastal wetlands of North America. My current research focuses on incorporating species distribution model outputs into conservation planning. I am working on the systematic prioritization of land for multiple taxa (including micro-organisms) across the Vaud Alps and Switzerland.
