Being keenly interested in the natural world as well as in conceptual ideas,
I studied biology and philosophy in Tübingen and Boston. I completed both degree programs in 1997 and since then,
my interests have focused on ornithology and chronobiology. For my dissertation on Seasonal timing in different environments:
comparative studies in Stonechats I received the Otto-Hahn-Medal for young scientists, and the subsequent work was rewarded
by the Walther Arndt-Price of the German Zoologists’ Society in 2009.
I’m currently extending my
research to gain a broad
perspective on the clocks, calendars, and seasonal adaptations that relate to avian timing. At present I’m a Margarete-von-Wrangell
fellow with the University of Konstanz and part of the larger team around Martin Wikelski’s
Department of Migration and Immuno-ecology.
