I am an environmental data scientist specialized in assessing sustainability of households, cities, and countries. At the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology, I quantify and map pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and assess cities’ progress toward sustainable mobility, efficient land use, and biodiversity protection.
My interest in data-driven indicators to inform environmental policy started during my work as the research director of the 2024 Environmental Performance Index at the Yale Center of Environmental Law and Policy. Before focusing on environmental data science, I earned a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Princeton University, where I worked with Jonathan Levine investigating how species interactions across heterogeneous landscapes mediate ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change.
