Empa / ETH

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Empa and ETH Zurich. I work in the Urban Energy Systems Laboratory and the Circular Engineering for Architecture Group.

I am interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of the built environment and digitalization, specifically how technology can shape processes and governance to manage the complexity of net-zero and responsible resource use. My focus lies often on blockchain and decentralized data protocols for data governance, performance-based contracts, and product passports and certificates.

In addition, I work at the ASVZ as a sports coach for gymnastics.
