Main Research
"As a microbiologist, environmental biotechnologist, and peace researcher with intercultural, and multilingual interests, I pursue a multi-perspective approach to my transdisciplinary focus on biosecurity and high-risk technologies, biological weapons control and peace research.
I am also an expert for intercultural competence aiming at a peaceful world and a society that values an "inclusive WE".
My greatest passions lie in research and teaching, where I always keep an eye on the big picture. With optimism and perseverance, I analyze, build bridges, and act responsibly for a future-oriented and better world"
