Managing Director
Throughout my professional career, I have covered a range of fields from basic research on biodiversity, to applied and development-oriented aspects of climate change adaptation, to postgraduate education for sustainable development in environmental management, especially in developing countries. Since 2020, I have been been working as Managing Director of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (comprises five faculties: Environmental Sciences, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Traffic and Transport Sciences, Business and Economics) at Technische Universität Dresden. Before that, he was able to deepen his experience in international and interdisciplinary exchange during his work at the Centre for International Postgraduate Studies of Environmental Management (CIPSEM). The courses organized by CIPSEM are characterized by their "multi-stakeholder" composition of participants. Experts from government, non-governmental organizations, science and business come and work together. The courses are designed as a platform for a sustainable North-South and South-South exchange. Prior, I was project coordinator of the "International Network on Climate Change (INCA): Understanding adaptation and mitigation strategies of tropical Andean people" at TU Dresden, and research associate within the project "Climate Change, landscape dynamics, land-use and natural resources in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro" and has worked on "Biodiversity and integrated land-use management for economic and natural system stability in the Mata Atlântica of Rio de Janeiro" at the University of Leipzig.
