I enjoy supporting teaching activities, especially when it comes to model development, coding and simulations.
Up to today I had the honor to supervise the following thesis:
Raphael Schmid (2023) - Bachelor Thesis in Forest Ecology at ETH Zurich. “Waldsukzession nach einem Waldbrand in den Schweizer Zentralalpen”
Alessandro Aquino (2021) Master thesis in Forestry and Soil Science at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy). “Caratterizzazione dei suoli al limite del bosco: proprietà emergenti nelle treeline di Fagus sylvatica dell’Appennino Centro-Meridionale”. Main supervisor: Prof. Fabio Terribile (Soil Science)
… and to support students with their thesis, namely:
Livia Gysel (2024-2025) - Bachelor Thesis in Forest Ecology at ETH Zurich. “Veränderungen der Struktur und Dynamik von Naturwaldreservaten unter Klimawandeleffekten”. Main supervisor: Prof. Harald Bugmann, co-supervisor: Dr. Ulrike Hiltner (ETH Zurich)
Samuel Zweifel (2022) - Bachelor Thesis in Forest Ecology at ETH Zurich. “Analyses of tree regeneration after wind throw in a central Swiss forest: testing a forest succession model’s abilities. Main supervisor: Dr. Ulrike Hiltner (Forest Ecology, ETH Zurich), co-supervisor: Dr. Mathieu Levesque (Silviculture, ETH Zurich)
Francesca Eccher (2023) MSc student at the Free University of Bolzano. Topic: Forest stand modelling on drought-prone forests in South Tyrol. Main supervisor: Dr. Marco Mina (EURAC)
Laurin Hillebrand (2022-2023) MSc student at the University of Innsbruck. Topic: Assessing the protective functions of South Tyrol forests under future climate change. Main supervisor: Dr. Marco Mina (EURAC)
