I am a Researcher (formerly Junior Group Leader) at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Innsbruck, Austria. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in Geo‑Environmental Data Science at Utrecht University and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. My PhD from the University of Lausanne focused on geostatistics — still a core pillar of my work.

Current Work
I’m developing a passive sensing approach using photogrammetry to generate digital elevation models (DEM) from a single flyover. I also collaborate on projects spanning remote sensing, geostatistics, and bird tracking.
