Research and project coordination on a sustainable and circular construction sector and built environment (at Bauhaus Earth):
- Systematically study the global supply and demand of bio-based building materials to meet future housing needs under different scenarios.
- Gain insights on the global potential of transforming the built environment from a carbon source to a sink
- Identify levers and barriers of the transformation process
As a Post-Doc at the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact research, I conducted research in the field of climate change impacts and mitigation options: Emission reduction potential of local transition initiatives, impacts and vulnerabilities of regions and cities towards climate change, including a range of sectors, such as the built environment, forestry, nature conservation and health.
