Research interest

Ecological interactions and networks never fail to fascinate me, both at descriptive and functional scales. Understanding their comprehensive complexity, in my opinion, necessitates a collaborative scientific approach that spans from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Therefore, the development of interdisciplinary research employing multidisciplinary methods holds utmost importance in my view.Furthermore, I have a strong interest in participatory research, biodiversity education, and exploring innovative approaches to enhance interactions between science, society, and policy in the field of environmental research. This interest is fueled by the recognition that the contribution individuals make to science, research, and policy is a key step in aligning activities with the actual needs of the community. Hence, citizen science plays a crucial role in modern society as an essential component and valuable resource. Additionally, interdisciplinary research is dedicated to finding solutions for real-world environmental issues. The integration of citizen science with modern tools (such as DNA metabarcoding or automated image recognition), demonstrates substantial potential in addressing crucial data gaps, particularly when conventional scientific monitoring proves impractical or unfeasible. I strongly believe that successful conservation strategies must embrace a harmonious approach that involves collaborating with nature and actively engaging with humans.
