Since September 2019, I have been a team member in the Working Group ‘Globalization, Transformation, Gender’ at the Institute of Geographical Sciences working as a lecturer (Lehrkraft fuer besondere Aufgaben). My teaching portfolio includes introductory courses in human geography and courses on specific and integrative geographic topics, as well as exercises in empirical research methods for students in the undergraduate Geographical Sciences program. I additionally offer seminars on human-environment relations and regional geographies, as well as study projects in Central Asia for students of the graduate program Geographical Development Research.

My research interest focuses on societal change and human-environmental interactions in High Asia and the former socialist region of Central Asia. My earlier studies were devoted to the change of animal husbandry practices in Kyrgyzstan (doctoral thesis) and the interplay of international intervention, security promotion, and development activities in Afghanistan. Currently, I am dealing with the overarching issues of collaborative resource management and societal development in marginalized regions, focusing on small-scale irrigation agriculture and the problem of food provision in the Pamirs of Tajikistan.

Since July 2021, I have been a member of the spokesperson team of the High Mountains Working Group in the German Geographical Society (DGfG). I am also an associate editor of two journals: Pastoralism. Research, Policy and Practice (SpringerOpen) and Central Asian Journal of Water Research (CAJWR).
