My research focuses on understanding plant-pollinator systems and their responses to habitat management in urban and protected areas. I provide practical guidance for enhancing biodiversity (especially pollinators and wildflowers) through informed management practices. Recently, I have been working on the Safeguard project, which aims to promote pollinator conservation by mapping the direct and indirect impacts on pollinators and providing tools for policy and economic decision-making.
I am also interested in the forest-steppe vegetation, including connections between the microclimate, the environmental and functional variables and the vegetation structure. This topic was my PhD dissertation
