About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher working on Decision Analysis for the evaluation of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) options in the BETTER project. Specifically, I am focussing on the development of a Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) model to evaluate BGI options in current and future climates according to the preferences of heterogeneous stakeholders.

During my doctoral studies, I developed a method for the prospective multi-criteria evaluation of measures in the water-energy nexus, taking into account the requirements of a jointly planned water and energy supply while ensuring participation of heterogeneous stakeholder groups. This work was connected to an international research project dedicated to the development and evaluation of transboundary water infrastructure concepts in the Middle East.

In general, I am interested in developing systematic procedures to advance decision-making in environmental and energy-related planning problems, while utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods of Operations Research.

Projects

Integrated, engineering design and decision support strategies for BGI at the neighborhood scale to address stormwater management, heat mitigation, and biodiversity enhancement in a current and future climate
We evaluate blue-green infrastructure combinations under future climate conditions and based on the preferences of multiple stakeholders.
