Research interests

I am interested in systematics and biogeography of Chironomidae (Diptera). My research is at the moment focused on monitoring of freshwater ecosystems, particularly with regard to Chironomidae. I am also interested in taxonomy and systematics of chironomids, especially of the tribe Tanytarsini and I am currently involved in DNA barcoding projects on non-biting midges, biting midges and other aquatic arthropods.
