Research interests

My interest lies within insect ecology, focusing on how insect microbiota contributes to host health. I study the insect-microbe relationships as dynamic processes influencing insect physiology, fitness, immunity and evolution. I am also interested in investigating the microbial acquisition routes which shape the natural microbiota of insects and their environments.

Currently, I am working on the InsectFeed project, an interdisciplinary scheme to value chain development for insects used as feed.
