As a botanist / bryologist by training (PhD) I have a long-term engagement in bryophyte conservation. During my professional career, I held different positions as a senior scientist, researcher and as a research manager. Since my Master thesis, I have actively conducted research, while the time devoted to it varied over the years. My research is organism- and collection based and focuses on bryophyte life history traits and changes in bryophyte diversity and their drivers. I have established, and maintain, an extensive network among scientists, conservationists, funding agencies and research and collection organisations. I have also worked with many aspects of natural history collections, both practically and at the management and strategic level.
