Hi and welcome to my personal website. I am a behavioural biologist passionate about understanding how animals make decisions and exploring the ecological consequences of their behaviour. My work is interdisciplinary, incorporating cognition, ecology and evolution with empirical and theoretical approaches to uncover the miseries of animal behaviour. During my PhD, I delved into the exciting realm of animal personality, investigating individual variation in “optimism” in mice. See my projects for more details and cool videos!
Recently, I finished my PhD at University of Münster, Department of Behavioural Biology as a part of collaborative research center for a novel synthesis of individualisation (NC3) and a student in Münster Graduate School of Evolution (MGSE).
Nature fascinates me so you’ll often find me with my nose to the ground observing ants or gazing into trees in search of a bird. You can also hear me yelling at my PC as I am a wannabee R programmer.
I love to engage in knowledge and experience exchange, not only inside academia but also with the public. So do not hesitate to reach out! Check out my projects and publications and if you have any questions or would like to discuss ideas.
I firmly believe in open and transparent science, so all my publications are open-access and contain reproducible data and analysis code. To further support open science, I am a member of the Society for Open, Reliable, and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary Biology SORTEE, and I encourage you to consider joining this community.
