Environmental Economist | Climate Vulnerability, Coastal Systems & Sustainable Tourism

Postdoctoral Researcher

Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Bremen

I study how climate change affects coastal economies and communities — and what policies can help them adapt. My work combines environmental economics, data science, and climate risk analysis to bridge the gap between research and policy.

Currently, I lead the data science work package of the STEPS project at ZMT, using NLP and machine learning to analyze how tourism policies address ecosystem protection in tropical coastal countries.
