Beautiful sunrise at the 2,200 m elevation field site along the Mt. Wilhelm elevational gradient in Northern Papua New Guinea.
I enjoy conducting both natural and manipulation studies to investigate mechanisms underlying assemblies of organismal communities and host-microbe associations. During my PhD, I conducted field work in tropical Papua New Guinea. But I have also conducted field work in USA, Ecuador, Czech Republic, South Africa, and Ivory Coast during my research carrier.
I conduct manipulations studies with wild Great tits in Czech Republic through my collaboration with Dr. Katerina Sam's Lab.
My field work in South Africa and Ivory Coast focused on fungus-farming termites in collaboration with Dr. Michael Poulsen.
I am also involved in multiple other research projects that take place around the world, including in Norway, The Canary Islands, and Cameroon.
Field work in Papua New Guinea is done with the support from the Binatang Research station in Madang (2017-2019)).
