      <title>Island Biogeography</title>

      <description>Island Biogeography My PhD work focused on the fascinating topic of island biogeography. The reason why biologists love to study islands is their geographic isolation. Emerging as sterile rocks from the ocean floor, islands are populated over long time spans by only those species that manage to cross the open sea. For the few species that succeed, a completely new environment &amp;ndash; typically with fewer competitors or predators &amp;ndash; awaits, leading to spectacular evolutionary shifts.</description>

      <title>Web applications with R-Shiny</title>

      <description>Web applications with R-Shiny Shiny allows building interactive web applications from R while having access to all the tools that set the language apart, i.e. advanced data processing, modeling and visualization capabilities and thousands of user-contributed packages.
During my postdoc, I was part of the ODMAP project to promote better documentation and reporting of biodiversity models. ODMAP stands for Overview, Data, Model, Assessment and Prediction and provides a step-by-step protocol to ensure a reproducible modeling workflow.</description>

      <description>Big Data Ecology Biodiversity science is transitioning into the age of Big Data, with massively expanding digital data collections and infrastructure. To keep pace with these developments, biodiversity researchers are increasingly adopting practices and tools from traditionally more technical fields such as informatics and data science. I developed and held this three-day workshop for the BioMove research training group in order to equip their graduate students with the skills necessary to make their work count in the age of big data ecology.</description>

      <title>Biodiversity Databases</title>

      <description>Biodiversity Databases I have led and contributed to the development of multiple biodiversity databases. Specifically, I was one of two main developers behind GIFT, the Global Inventory of Floras and Traits database. GIFT provides information on the geographical distribution and biological characteristics (functional traits) of more than 300.000 plant species worldwide. Geographical regions in GIFT range from small protected areas to entire countries and are geostatistically processed to derive features related to, e.</description>

      <title>Using Shiny modules to build reusable UI components</title>

      <description>Background I am currently building a Shiny application that converts tabular ecological field data into a well-defined exchange format in XML. Part of the UI consists of an input form, where users can map columns of their uploaded data to specific elements of the exchange format. The challenge is that the number of mappings &amp;ndash; and thus the number of required input fields &amp;ndash; depends on the user data. Ideally, users would be able to dynamically add and remove UI elements, while the server collects all valid input values from the UI.</description>

      <description>This is part one of a three-part blog series. The other posts will be linked here in the future.
 Building a static website with Hugo Going live: domains and options for web hosting Dockerizing your website and other services on a virtual private server   Why a website? For a few months now, the first post &amp;ldquo;Hello, world!&amp;quot; has been sitting lonely on the front page of this blog.</description>

      <description>Welcome to my personal homepage!
Going forward, I will write here about my path from academic research into the broader tech space. Expect content on machine learning, statistical programming and data visualization, but also occasional reflections about the state of our world and the beauty of this planet. Come and join me on this journey!

      <description>About me I’m a biodiversity data scientist and ecological modeler who seeks new challenges outside academia. My technical interests range from making engaging visualization to implementing predictive machine learning workflows, from dabbling with interesting datasets to building robust backends and server environments. In my free time I am passionate about martial arts, photography and all kinds of guitar-driven Rock music.

      <title>Bayesian Hierarchical Models</title>

      <description>Bayesian Hierarchical Models Bayes&#39; theorem provides a powerful way to incorporate uncertainty into statistical modeling. Two key differences set the Bayesian approach apart from classical frequentist statistics. First, the parameters of a model are treated as random instead of fixed variables, i.e. they are drawn from a probability distribution. This has substantial advantages when estimating complex models because the uncertainty in parameter estimates can be propagated throughout the model. Second, Bayesian approaches take into account prior information about the distribution of a parameter.</description>
