Research Interests

I studied Environmental Sciences because I am interested in applying my scientific knowledge in the context of society.

Within the scope of my dissertation I worked with the agent-based agricultural sector model SWISSland which was developed by the Socioeconomics Research Group of Agroscope in Tänikon. I analyzed the consequences of three different market-based approaches that aim to reduce nitrogen emissions in Swiss agriculture.
