PhD Student, senior lab assistant (Rybachy Animal navigation Group)
Biologist specializing in environmental sciences, ecology, ethology, neuroscience, laboratory experiments and field observations. During undergraduate and graduate studies, I took part in four scientific projects related to the mechanisms of animal orientation and demographics of small passerine birds. It gave a fundamental theoretical base and acquired the relevant skills in field and laboratory research. Moreover, I became a result-oriented team player, highly capable in combining demanding lab work with the passion for science communication through writing popular science articles, as well as presenting and organizing educational events..
