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.
