My research interests are focused on the role of tree species diversity for the functioning of forest ecosystems, from natural forests to urban environments. Currently, I am working on how urban green spaces relate to health and well-being, and how we can use this knowledge to plan and manage green spaces for multiple services and benefits.

During my Ph.D., I investigated the impacts of drought on temperate forests, and the significance of tree diversity for the health and growth of mature forests. Previous work includes studies on the assessment and conservation of threatened species; species distribution modeling; and social perceptions on forest management adaptation to climate change.
