Nele studied Agricultural Sciences (B.Sc. + M.Sc.) with specialization in Environmental Sciences at Kiel University (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel). Her master thesis focused on the effect of treated wastewater irrigation on soil and groundwater characteristics (in particular with regard to boron content) in Tunisia.
Nele joined PIK in 2021 as a research analyst and project coordinator in the AGRICA project. She coordinated various projects, conducts research on the impacts of climate change in agriculture and evaluates adaptation strategies for smallholder farmers in especially Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2023 she started her PhD with a focus on agroforestry systems in Western and Central Africa.
Before joining PIK, she worked for two years as an adviser for rural development at the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) in Tunisia. At GIZ she developed and implemented adaptation strategies for smallholder farmers and conducted environmental impact assessments of the dairy value chain in Northern and Central Tunisia to support the development of national strategies.
