I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Section of International Agricultural Policy and Environmental Governance, Faculty Organic Agricultural Sciences, University of Kassel. I am a political scientist by training and received my PhD (Dr. rer. pol.) from University of Kassel for my dissertation on determinants, patterns, and performance of coordination of polycentric water governance in Spain. Currently, I focus on sustainable food systems, the Water-Energy-Food-Nexus and environmental governance.
