Field of research

I work as a research assistant in the Department of Ecology, BTU. My research interest is the taxonomic and functional diversity of ground beetles affected by disturbances. I lecture the modules: "13822 Biodiversity of terrestrial arthropods""13735 Biodiversity of terrestrial invertebrates" in the ERM master and bachelor's programme.
