Frostwächter: a free inversion frost predictor for Halle (Saale) — and the science behind it

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I built a small open tool that predicts radiation frost events for Halle (Saale) using a risk model based on cloud cover, wind speed, soil temperature, and humidity. Here is the science, the code, and why official forecasts often miss the most dangerous frost type for gardeners.

Seeds, Code, and What We Pass Down

A few weeks before my son is born, I've been building a small automated growing system in the cellar. It's made me think about open source, anonymous generosity, and what my father didn't teach me.

Projects

I work across research, public engagement, and interdisciplinary practice.
Below is a selection of ongoing and recent projects that reflect this trajectory.

Neuland

Scientific Coordinator — main role

An interdisciplinary initiative at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), developed in collaboration with Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle.
Neuland explores new ways of connecting plant science, design, and public discourse, with a focus on knowledge transfer, reflection, and societal engagement.
