Active Ecology Researcher | Specialist in Environmental Sciences and Botany | Selectively Taking Project

Profile Summary

As an active researcher in Environmental Sciences, I bring a wealth of current, cutting-edge expertise in ecology, paleontology, botany, biogeography, plant-insect interactions, and interdisciplinary research overall. My work is grounded in my ongoing academic career, where I am deeply involved in producing high-quality, peer-reviewed publications, managing international research projects, and staying at the forefront of scientific advancements. I am committed to delivering exceptional results and therefore choose to take on a very select number of freelance projects. This selective approach allows me to ensure that each project I engage with receives my full attention and benefits from my comprehensive expertise. I specialize in areas such as advanced data analysis, scientific writing, and project management. My ongoing involvement in academia means that I am continuously updated with the latest methodologies, trends, and networks within the scientific community. While I am selective, I am also approachable and open to discussing potential projects. I welcome inquiries and am happy to explore how my skills can best serve your needs.
