Introduction
I am an ecologist, focusing on individual-based modelling with strong interest in disease ecology, biodiversity research, animal movement and conservation biology. I am currently a PhD student in the department “Ecological Dynamics” at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research working as part of the BioMove project.

In the last years, the emergence of zoonotic diseases and the frequency of disease outbreaks have increased substantially, fuelled by habitat encroachment and asynchrony of biological cycles due to global change. The virulence of these diseases is a key aspect for their success. In order to understand the complex processes of pathogen virulence evo...
Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to biodiversity and human health. Therefore, developing a general understanding of the drivers shaping host-pathogen dynamics is of key importance in both ecological and epidemiological research. Disease dynamics are driven by a variety of interacting processes such as individual host behaviour, spatiote...
Global change is shifting the timing of biological events, leading to temporal mis-matches between biological events and resource availability. These temporal mis-matches can threaten species' populations. Importantly, temporal mismatches not only exert strong pressures on the population dynamics of the focal species, but can also lead to substanti...
