Research Interest

As a plankton biologist my primary focus lies in the field of microphytoplankton taxonomy. I am also interested in studying the interaction between phytoplankton and zooplankton. Impact of UV radiation as well as increasing global temperature on the survival of planktonic organisms were also focused.
