About Me

My professional trajectory has been strongly serendipitous and highly influenced by personal circumstances and external factors. During the last ten years I have lived in four different countries, gone through three economic crises (discounting Covid-19), seen my father and brother die and my daughter come to birth, gone through severe health treatment and financial hardship, and worked in and out of research & academia. These experiences have taught me to distinguish between the important and the superfluous, and shaped the way I approach research.

​

I am still that curious inquisitive child with a genuine fascination for the natural world. I have high working ethics and enjoy inspiring young scientists, and work towards a more inclusive and diverse research and academic environment. I also have a thing for lost causes and contentious unresolved research questions. As intellectual leaders of society, scientists have the responsibility to stand for truth and reach out for a better future for the generations to come. Unfortunately, this Mediocrecene full of hollow leaders and empty values is pushing towards a corporate model of scientist more interested in success, impact factors, the next big thing and status, than in guiding society through an uncertain future where supporting living systems are seriously compromised. I am not that corporate scientist, and I stand against that model through word and action.

​

Life is a revolution and Ecology still a young scientific discipline. So many paradigms are still waiting to be discovered, and yet there’s such an urgency for answers at a time where the future of the natural world is at a stake. I do my best to provide responsible, genuine and compromised leadership, and peer guidance and mentorship to dive through the many unknowns of the Anthropocene.
