Bachelor of Science at University of Jyväskylä (JYU, Finland), Master of Science at University of Jyväskylä, and currently PhD candidate at Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Norway). My research interests lie within community ecology, conservation biology, sustainability, and statistical modelling. In my PhD project I will be modelling the links between forest fragmentation, species interactions, and ecosystem services using joint species distribution models.
Project:
Consequences of land use change in ecosystem services provided by species interactions in Brazilian Atlantic forest.
Advisors: Assoc. Prof Vidar Grøtan (NTNU, Norway), Prof. Otso Ovaskainen (University of Helsinki, Finland), and PhD Nerea Abrego (NTNU, Norway). Collaborators: Prof. Mauro Galetti (UNESP, Brazil), Prof. Milton Ribeiro (UNESP, Brazil), and Prof. Bente Graae (NTNU, Norway).
