Additional functions:
Since September 2017, I am Professor for Geodesign and Landscape Informatics at the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences. My research interests are the use of digital methods in landscape architecture and planning with a focus on climate change communication. Particular methods and technologies, I´m reasearching, are geodesign, environmental modeling, Augmented and Virtual Reality, and the use of GIS and 3D visualization as tools for participation.
From November 2012 to August 2017, I was teaching GIS and landscape planning at the Department of Landscape at the University of Sheffield.
From November 2008 to September 2012, I researched the impact of climate change at the landscape scale at the Centre of Advanced Landscape Planning CALP at UBC Vancouver, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation SNF. In 2007, I finished my PhD at ETH Zurich. From 2003-2006, I worked on the EU project VisuLands.
