My name is Lina, I am from Germany. Before joining DESTINY I completed an Erasmus Mundus Double Degree named AFEPA (Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Policy Analysis) in Belgium and Italy. Now, I am working in WP6 at AgroParisTech, France and University of Bologna, Italy.

In my research I am trying to understand 1) how increasing agricultural biomass supply for the bioeconomy impacts agricultural practices and the structure of the agricultural sector, and 2) how policies can be designed to account for these potentially adverse effects. I am exploring these questions from an agricultural economics perspective, using econometric and optimisation methods.

I am also interested in related economic fields and interdisciplinary connections of my work to other fields.
