I am interested in especially water and soil issues from a governance perspective as well as from a technical point of view. I have a background in both of them due to my master studies (Integrated natural resource management/ Environmental engineering). I enjoy getting new perspectives especially on dimensions of environmental sciences through interdisciplinary work.

In my PhD I investigate how polycentric governance structures influence the local implementation of the EU Water Framework: how river basin management is realized, how sector integration functions, how the public participates in those processes, which barriers hamper implementation and how the structure and processes relate to the implementation progress. I focus on water governance cases from several German Bundesländer which follow different implementation strategies.
