Research Focus

My research focuses on the interface between agricultural land use and decentralised energy production. At its core lies the technical, economic and ecological assessment of agri-photovoltaic (APV) systems in Austria and Europe, with particular attention to comparing different climate zones and crops. Building on my background in viticulture and oenology, I am especially interested in the potential of APV for specialty crops such as wine and fruit production. The aim of my work is to provide robust planning and decision-making foundations for an area-efficient integration of agriculture and the energy transition.
