Enhancing Scientific Publications
Clear and engaging visualizations, such as infographics and visual abstracts, help summarize complex results concisely, increasing the readability of scientific articles. This can lead to higher citation rates and greater visibility in your field.
Increasing Online Visibility and Impact
Interactive visualizations and animated graphics on research websites and social media platforms make your work more dynamic and shareable. This not only increases your visibility but also expands your reach beyond the academic community.
Boosting Conference Presentations
Professionally designed scientific posters and interactive presentations attract more attention at conferences, encouraging productive discussions and collaborations. With well-structured visuals, your work stands out in a competitive environment.
Public Outreach and Education
Animations and infographics make complex scientific concepts understandable and engaging for non-expert audiences. This is particularly useful for public lectures, workshops, and social media, helping to bridge the gap between science and society.
Supporting Grant Applications
Well-crafted diagrams and flowcharts can clarify complex research designs and methodologies in grant proposals, making your ideas more accessible to reviewers. This can enhance the chances of securing funding.
Improving Your Own Research Clarity
Creating structured and detailed visualizations can help you better understand your own research data and processes. This can lead to new insights, a more efficient research process, and improved strategic decision-making.
Boosting your Impact with Information Design
Information design is not just about aesthetics—it’s a powerful tool to communicate complex scientific ideas more effectively, helping you maximize the impact of your research.
FAQ Science
How can information design help my research?
Improved Comprehension: Clear and illustrative visualizations make complex data and relationships easier to understand—not only for peers in your field but also for interdisciplinary teams and interested non-experts.
Increased Impact: Professionally designed infographics and visual abstracts make your research findings more engaging. This enhances your visibility in scientific publications, conferences, and online platforms, ultimately boosting the impact of your work.
More Clarity for Yourself: Well-structured visualizations help you recognize the value of your own work and can lead to new perspectives. This can accelerate the research process and lead to fresh insights.
Promoting Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Precisely crafted visualizations make complex content more accessible, facilitating communication between different disciplines. This enhances the effectiveness of interdisciplinary projects.
Where can I use infographics and scientific illustrations in my research?
Scientific Articles and Journals:
Visual abstracts and infographics can be used as supplementary materials in scientific articles to concisely summarize complex findings and improve the flow of reading.
Conferences and Poster Sessions:
Professionally designed scientific posters help you present your research findings effectively at conferences. By incorporating interactive elements, you can stimulate discussions and provide additional explanations afterward.
Online Platforms and Research Websites:
Interactive visualizations and animations offer a dynamic way to illustrate data and processes on digital platforms. These formats are ideal as supplementary materials for published papers or as standalone projects in online repositories.
Teaching and Public Outreach:
Animations and infographics can be used in lectures, workshops, or public science events to make complex content more understandable and accessible.
Social Media and Blog Posts:
Short-format visualizations help you disseminate research findings on social networks or blogs, reaching a broader audience, including non-experts.
How advanced does my research need to be before I can reach out to you?
Come as you are. Every stage has its advantages.
The earlier you reach out, the more strategically we can design your communication tasks. In the early stages, I can support you with grant writing and budget planning to minimize bureaucratic workload. The more advanced the project, the more we can focus on leveraging existing results and maximizing their impact.
Where can I find funding for communication services?
There are increasingly more funding opportunities for communication materials. Here are a few examples:
Project Budgets and Grants:
Many funding programs support the dissemination of research findings, allowing communication activities to be included directly in the project budget.
University and Institutional Funding:
Many institutions provide their own funds or grants for public outreach and science communication.
Collaborations and Special Programs:
Partnerships with industry or specialized funding programs also offer additional financing opportunities.
Do you also help with writing grant applications?
Yes, depending on the grant application and field of research, I am happy to provide compelling arguments and scientifically grounded approaches that can be used in the application.
My Scientific Background
- Geography (B. Sc.) at the Humboldt-University in Berlin.
- Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (M.Sc.) at Lund University
- Project work at the Baltic University Programme / 1 year
- Internship at the Leibniz Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei (IGB) / 6 months
- Student assistant for Ecohydrology at the Humboldt-University / 2 years
Geography
Thanks to my geography studies, I gained valuable foundational knowledge in climatology, geomorphology, human geography, urban planning, and Earth observation.
(Eco-) Hydrology
I wrote my bachelor’s thesis in Prof. Dörthe Tetzlaff research group, which studies the ecohydrological behavior of catchments across spatial and temporal scales, focusing on water storage and release in landscapes.
Ecology
My enthusiasm for ecology emerged quite late, but today I am fascinated by our living environment. I completed several modules in landscape ecology and biogeography.
Sustainability
During my studies, I gained knowledge in sustainability research with a focus on transdisciplinary research, system-thinking, and values-thinking. These approaches have proven valuable for solving complex problems in various contexts.
RStudio and QGIS
Two very handy tools I learned during my studies were RStudio for statistics and QGIS for mapping. They have proven useful in many cases since then.
ESD
Traditional teach often is not equipped to achieving the change we need. For my Master thesis I developed a learning game based on extensive work in the field of Education for Sustainable Development
