I am fascinated by animals that live in and move through extreme environments. I am interested in the different coping mechanisms that migrants and residents have evolved to deal with seasonality and how they will respond to climate change. For my PhD, I aim to find out what metabolic rates can tell us about life history strategies and trade-offs in blue tits, a small resident song bird in a highly seasonal environment. During my masters at Lund University, I studied maximum fueling rates in migratory songbirds in Öland, a migration stopover site in southern Sweden.

Alongside my research interests, I am an outdoor enthusiast and nature nerd and my true habitat is on a trail somewhere in the mountains. Although birds are my favorite organisms, I have worked with a range of taxa from bison to elephant seals.
