Research Interests

Research Interests


My interest is on metazoan species in streams and lakes as well as the ecological water assessment within the water framework directive (WFD).

Within the BMBF-funded joint research project “GroundCare: Parametrization and quantification of groundwater ecosystem services as a basis of sustainable water resource management” I focus on the keeping and breeding of stygophilous and stygobiontic groundwater metazoans as well as their use as indicator organisms. I am developing a robust breeding systems for further ecotoxicological investigations.
