Dr. Till Kuhn

Postdoctoral Researcher in Data Science in Agricultural Economics Group

About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Data Science in Agricultural Economics group, working on the EU-funded BrightSpace and LAMASUS projects. After four years with the German Advisory Council on the Environment, I developed a strong interest in agri-environmental policies.
My work focuses on the EU Common Agricultural Policy, the EU Nitrates Directive, crop diversity, and technologies for sustainable agriculture. Methodologically, I primarily use bioeconomic optimization models at the farm scale, particularly the FarmDyn model.
