Research

My research interests are mainly in Landscape ecology and Impacts between climate change and energy systems. I have previously worked on spatial patterns of soil erosion and ecological vulnerability assessment under future climate scenarios, and I am currently focusing on renewable energy assessment and synergies between nature and energy systems.
