Profile

I am Austrian and studied biology at the University of Graz with a focus on the behavior, morphology and physiology of honey bees. I have been living in Bern, Switzerland, since 2012. I did my doctorate at the University of Lausanne in collaboration with the Swiss Bee Research Center Agroscope on European foulbrood disease. I have been employed by Agroscope since 2019 and am responsible for the bee risk assessment of plant protection products on bees for their registration in Switzerland. I am a member of Apitox task force.
