​I have been at the forefront of environmental humanities and urban studies research in Switzerland and internationally, focusing on pressing topics such as extended urbanization, agroecological urbanism, multispecies and more-than-human ethnography, and rewilding.

I currently hold dual affiliations with the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich and the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich.
At the University of Zurich, within the Space, Nature, and Society group, I lead the human geography work package for the SNF Sinergia Spotlight project, which investigates the environmental impacts of light planning and light pollution in Zurich. At ETH Zurich, I teach survey lectures on Urban Political Ecology and Environmental Humanities, exploring themes such as the Anthropocene, multispecies and more-than-human ethnography, and agroecology.

Through teaching programs like the MAS Territorial Design at ETH Zurich and EPFL, I have collaborated with stakeholders and agroecological initiatives in Switzerland to bridge environmental theory with planning practice, fostering policy impact. I have also curated public lecture series such as Sessions on Territory: Agriculture and the Countryside and exhibitions like Planetary Urbanisation: Agrifutures Zurich at the Zurich Architecture Centre Bellerive. Additionally, I have organized conferences and workshops to disseminate my findings.

I am frequently invited to deliver keynotes and public lectures, including at the 2024 AESOP conference in Milan, the Migros Museum in Zurich, and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. My courses consistently receive high evaluations from students, and I have been nominated for multiple teaching and leadership awards, including the 2024 Art of Leadership Award (ALEA) at ETH, recognizing my efforts to foster a collegial and inclusive academic environment.

Previously, I served as the coordinating director of the doctoral program in Landscape and Urban Studies at ETH Zurich, where I taught theory and methodology seminars on topics such as the Anthropocene, multispecies methodologies, agroecology, and creative research methods. During this tenure, I authored the award-winning book Researching Otherwise: Pluriversal Methodologies for Landscape and Urban Studies (gta Verlag, 2024), a pioneering guidebook that integrates sensory, creative, and experiential research practices with multispecies and more-than-human methodologies. The book challenges conventional frameworks of knowledge production, advocating for interdisciplinary approaches to foster restitutive and regenerative futures.
