Plant Physiology (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL)
His research focuses on forest ecology and ecophysiology, mainly studying water relations and carbon budgets of trees. He works closely with soil scientists, atmospheric scientists, physicists, and remote sensing scientists, and is particularly interested in scientific questions that lie at the interfaces between plants and the environment. His research projects often involve the development and application of high-tech ecological measurement methods that can be used in forests.
