My interest in GAIA is based on my enthusiasm for the topic of satellite communication and in a special proximity of GAIA's work to one of the most pressing global challenges of our time: the protection of our environment. That is why GAIA became a matter of the heart for me personally.

I am fascinated by the myriad of ecological processes that determine the functioning of ecosystems across the globe. I love unrevealing the detailed secrets about the roles each species plays in the complex web of life on this planet. Especially when new understanding helps the people or conservation of wildlife.
