Biography
I have a PhD in ecology. I have researched the interactions between birds, insects and trees in a wide range of forests from subarctic to rainforests. I also study the migration of arctic skuas and its effects on their breeding success.
As a development specialist, my responsibilities include the coordination of research infrastructures, research data and laboratories.
