I work in the fields of:

• Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Geoarchaeology
• Exploration methods
• (Geo-)Data analysis
• Geographical information systems (GIS)

In particular, I am working on the application of direct push techniques to wetland sites in the following projects as part of my ongoing PhD project:

• Direct push applications in wetland (geo)archaeology (2016-2022), funding: DFG (ZI 721/12-1)
• Fossa Carolina: The link between the harbour networks at the rivers Danube and Rhine. Studies on bridging the central European watershed in the Middle Ages (2012-2020), funding: DFG (ZI 721/10-1, ET 20/7-1)
