Tasks
I work as a senior researcher of environmental law. My research has focused on regulating circular economy. I have carried out research on different regulatory problems of circular economy within the EU and nationally. These include but are not limited to legal questions regarding waste and chemicals regulation as well as regulation concerning plastics. Moreover, I have worked with legislation on ecodesign, nature conservation, land-use and energy efficiency of buildings.
