Research focus
I work as a research associate in the PaludiAllianz project. I am responsible for specialist information on reed canary grass, sedges, mixed wet meadows and peat mosses, and I study the production processes of the PaludiAllianz partners in depth. I advise the partners on integrating paludiculture into value chains and research industrial requirements, standards and certification options for paludiculture products. I also document the progress of the PaludiAllianz pilot projects and promote the exchange of information among the partners and with university research.
