Responsibilities
As part of a team co-developing an eDNA-based biodiversity monitoring in offshore wind farms in collaboration with industry stakeholders, I am responsible for the field work and data analysis.

Research Interests
I am very interested in the use of molecular methods to study the composition and dynamics of ecological communities. After a period in fundamental research investigating the cellular mechanisms shaping phytoplankton–bacteria interactions, I am now focusing on a more applied approach using eDNA to monitor faunal biodiversity.
