Ecologist, Postdoc

I am a postdoctoral researcher working at the intersection of ecophysiology, ecotoxicogenomics, and field-based freshwater ecology, with the aim of understanding how aquatic organisms cope with multiple, co-occurring stressors. My research uses omics to link realistic environmental exposure scenarios (e.g., urban river conditions, freshwater salinisation, and complex pollutant mixtures) to mechanistic responses that shape organismal performance and resilience. A core part of my work is translating complex molecular signals into interpretable ecological insight, including comparative approaches across species and tissues, and developing reproducible workflows that make model and non-model ecotoxicogenomics more robust and accessible. Within eTOX, I also support ongoing projects by refining bioinformatics pipelines, strengthening downstream interpretation, and helping ensure that results are transparent and reusable across studies. Alongside research, I contribute to teaching and mentoring in data science, limnology, and environmental science.
