My networks
I am a dedicated biologist with a strong background in Conservation Biology and a passion for ornithology. After earning my master’s degree in Conservation Biology, I pursued my love for avian research through extensive fieldwork as a bird ringer across Scandinavia, where I contributed to various research projects focused on bird migration, moult, and species conservation.
My interest in avian research began at Lund University, where I had the opportunity to work on the Great Snipe (Gallinago media) for my master’s thesis. Since then, I have worked at bird observatories in Scandinavia, gaining extensive field experience that has deepened my understanding of avian biology. More recently, I have also been involved in bird ringing projects in South Africa, further developing my expertise in this unique ecosystem.
I am currently starting a PhD project in collaboration with the University of Porto and the University of Cape Town. My research focuses on establishing long-term bird monitoring initiatives in southern Africa, including standardized bird ringing schemes. The idea for this project first started forming a few years ago, and my recent experiences in South Africa have helped me refine it further. The general aim is to contribute to the study of African avifauna and support bird conservation efforts in the region.
Through years of hands-on fieldwork and international collaboration, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of avian research. I am excited to continue advancing my research in biodiversity and ornithology, integrating my practical experience with academic inquiry to address pressing conservation challenges.
