List of publications

I have been teaching at university for more than 10 years in more than 10 courses of different formats.
At my current position my teaching includes the following courses:

• Global Change Ecology, 3 credit points
• Modern Biomarkers, 3 credit points
• Adaptations of aquatic communities to climate change and hydropower, 3 credit points
• Freshwater Fish of Europe – Biology and Management, CAS-course

As part of my engagement in teaching, I have supervised 16 undergraduate and one graduate student.

I have experience in publishing research both within specialized subjects of ecology and across scientific disciplines.  
The basis of my professional experience is a profound education with a M.Sc. degree in biology from the University of Konstanz in Germany and a PhD in limnology from Uppsala University in Sweden.
I have experience from working in a variety of contexts through studies at three universities in Germany, PhD-projects in Sweden and Poland, and Post-doc projects in Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany.
My recent experiences increasingly cross disciplinary boundaries and include work on socio-ecological questions and the combination of ecology and economics.
