BIO
My research focuses on alpine ecosystems and aquatic–terrestrial linkages, exploring how climate change and seasonal variation shape the emergence and nutritional composition of aquatic insects, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). I am particularly interested in ecosystem connectivity and the role of aquatic insects in nutrient transfer across ecosystem boundaries under climate change.
