RESEARCH

I am a plant ecologist interested in species interactions, functional traits and eco-evolutionary dynamics. My research is motivated by the goal to understand ecology across scales, from plant eco-physiology to ecosystem-level processes, and to find solutions to the ongoing nature and climate crisis. I use a combination of greenhouse experiments and local field work to conduct my research.
