Botanist and engineer at the Department of Biology.

Field course coordinator and lecturer in botany, ecology and biodiversity.
I also help with plant research at the department.

My main work areas:

• Plants and species identification 
  • Teaching in the field (field courses, excursion and lab)
  • Species identification of plants (and some algae, fungi, lichens and moss)
• Ecology, evolution and sustainability
  
  • Lecturer focused on mutualistic interaction, restoration and global ecology
• Research support
  
  • Field work, green house, species identification, lab analysis.

I also enjoy outreach, from how to create a nature-friendly garden, to the strange, carnivorous, edible or poisonous plants we find in nature.
