He completed his habilitation at the University of Basel in 2018 and was subsequently a Junior Fellow at the Historisches Kolleg München. His research focuses on the role of knowledge and technology on the southern European periphery, the changes in the human-environment relationship since industrialisation and the knowledge construct of population in European history.
