I am a full professor of Applied Geography and Spatial Planning at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and hold (Diploma) degrees in Sociology and Urban Planning. Empirical investigation into urban and regional development processes, with a particular focus on the (conflicting) interests and strategies of societal actors, is at the heart of my academic interest. Currently, I deal with the following topics: i) Localism and local conflict, ii) Suburbanization and urban sprawl as contested issues of politics and planning, iii) Housing. Besides, I also like reflecting on what I am doing and whom it should be helpful for. Hence, the study of iv) opportunities and pitfalls of applied research is a fourth interest of mine.
