I am a Postdoc at the University of Konstanz, Germany. With a PhD in exercise science and postdoctoral training in biomedical engineering and clinical gerontology I have over 15 years of experience in developing exercise and physical activity interventions for improving functional performances in older adults. I am author of more than 100 scientific publications in peer reviewed international journals, conference proceedings or books (> 3900 citations, h-index 39). My research has received several scientific awards. I have acquired more than 2.5 Mio Euro third-party funding during my career, serve as associated editor and editorial board member for established peer-review journals in my field, and collaborate with various national and international research groups.
