Involved in several research projects such as Caterra - An alternative to herbicides, Trait Spotting, GlobalWheatDataset, Climbreed, SPPN, ECOPRot, etc.
Research Experience
Privatdozent at the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zurich. Research focuses on the genetic control of developmental processes during critical phases of crop development and developing genetic crop models to predict the performance of new breeding lines in a certain target environment and climate scenario. Continuously phenotypes wheat throughout its development using the Field Phenotyping Platform (FIP) and the Phenofly infrastructure.
Background
Research Focus: Adaptation of crop varieties to low nitrogen input conditions and abiotic stress. Field: Crop Science.
Miscellany
Membership: European Association for Research on Plant Breeding, Swiss Society of Agronomy (SSA)
