Curriculum Vitae

Since 2010: Scientist at the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute for Forest Ecosystems:

  • Carbon Inventory 2017 (CI 2017): Coordination
  • German national Forest Inventory: Responsible for the evaluation methods and the inventory design and their further enhancement
  • Greenhouse Gas Monitoring: Responsible in the forest sector for biomass estimations and their change based on the German NFI, compiling the error budget, development of the land use matrices as basis for activity data under the regulations of the Kyoto protocol and the Convention on Climate Change
  • Development and implementation of enhanced evaluation methods using additional data or information sources in the scope of the German NFI and the GHG reporting
  • Collaboration in European projects related to harmonisation of National Forest Inventories (NFI)

2008-09-29:Ph.D. in "Evaluation of alternative sampling strategies for the German National Forest Inventory"

2007 - 2010: Scientist at the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute, Institute for Worldforestry in the project: „Uncertainties (THG - QA, QC and Uncertainty assessments for optimising estimation methods for the GHG-Monitoring)“:

  • Analysing different conversion methods to evaluate their influence on the error budget
  • Testing and implementation of different evaluation methods for the German NFI (Stratified sampling, Double Sampling, Two-phase sampling) to minimize the error budget
  • Compiling the error budget for quantification of CO2-sinks or sources in the forest sector for GHG reporting under the Kyoto-protocol and the Convention on Climate Change

2005 - 2007: Scientific researcher and PhD cand. at the Section of World Forestry (University of Hamburg) in the following projects:

  • “BZE-Project – Development of a statistical design for the second forest soil condition survey in Germany (BZE 2)” (carried out with the financial support from the BMELV)
  • „Pilot study on harmonising National Forest Inventories in Europe” (EC JRC 382242 F1SC, 2007-2008, Uni Hamburg)
  • “CarboInvent-Project – Multi-Source Inventory Methods for Quantifying Carbon Stocks and Stock Changes in European Forests” (carried out with the financial support from the EU)
  • “Green Oak Roller Moth -Project – Genetic Variation of the Green Oak Roller Moth and his host plant – an article for the relationship of host and parasite” (carried out with the financial support from the DFG)

2002 - 2005: Junior scientist at the Chair of Forest Biometrics and Computer Sciences (TU Dresden) in the project: „WEI-BWI-Project – Enhancement of the German National Forest Inventory through integration of remote sensing“ (carried out with the financial support from the DLR)

1996 - 2002: Studies of Forestry Science at Dresden University of Technology (TU), Tharandt, Germany

  • Specialisation: „Analysing and evaluation of ecosystems“
  • Diploma thesis at the Chair of Forest Biometrics and Computer Sciences (TU Dresden) and at Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL); Topic: “Optimising Cluster Sampling Inventories using the Model of Anticipated Variance”

2000 - 2001: Studies of Forestry Science at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland, spacialisation in forest inventory, forest management and silviculture of mountain forests
