During his tenure in Baselland, he collected mosses, being inspired by the work of Wilhelm Philippe Schimper and Philipp Bruch. In his scientific travels, he spent two years in North America and considerable time in Cyprus. In the last 20 years of his life, he has focused his energy on the research of fossil Foraminifera.[http://www.herbarien.uzh.ch/static/database/sammlerdetails_de.php?id=402 University of Zurich » Herbaria of the University and ETH Zurich] biographical information[http://www.sysbot.biologie.uni-muenchen.de/botsyst/ic/ic-algae.htm Algae (Collectors Index Herbarium M)] 3.1.
