Research interests
I have broad research interests in behavior ecology and biological conservation, with the main emphasis on avian biology. I am currently working on the following themes:
Escape behavior of birds,
The ecology and evolution of urbanization,
Caching/Food storing behavior of the tits.

Teaching
I am responsible for two undergraduate courses “General Biology” and “Animal classification and identification”.
I take part in two modules in the Master (Biology):
“Modern Biological Research Methods and Biotechnology”, which is a general introduction to technologies that has been applied on biology and biotechnology involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products.
“Animal Evolution and Adaptation”, which comprises the overlap of three broader scientific fields: ecology, animal behavior and evolution.
