Master of Science in Biology - Specialization in Ecology
2008 Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary
Bachelor of Science in Biology
2006 Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA, USA ResearchMy research focuses on community ecology and aquatic food webs. Using quantitative methods (network analysis, stable isotopes), my research examines the trophic complexity of food webs. In experimental (mesocosm and laboratory) settings, my lab tests the effects of multiple stressors and invasive species on the aquatic community, focusing on invertebrates and planktonic organisms.Prizes and honoursMidge Elliassen Fellow (2024);
ERASMUS Fellow (2022);
Rotary International Scholarship (2005-2006).
