Research Interest

In my current research, I investigate risks and benefits of biodiversity and nature experience on human health. To this end, I use deep phenotyping datasets and epidemiological analyses methods.
My goal is the synthesis of nature values for policy settings. I aim to emphasize the importance of well-designed urban environments for health and wellbeing.
I am fascinated with the different perspectives on health and behaviour and have worked with data from neurophysiological experiments, using electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as behavioural tasks, questionnaires and anthropometric measures.
