Research interests

I aim to be a transdisciplinary environmental researcher; a specializing generalist that can work with different knowledge groups and understand how they connect to form larger, more holistic environmental systems. I am interested in the interface between human (societal) and environmental systems and therefore cover a wide range of topics. This has led me to do synthesis research on:

Physical effects of climate change induced weather on honey bee foraging flight in the Netherlands
An aquaponics design within a circular economy
Perceived health and environmental effects of urban green spaces in Budapest, Hungary
Life Cycle Analysis on Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA) Plastics
Identifying Hazards in the Nomadic Pastoralist Lifestyle and Their Impact on Health
Mycoremediation as an in situ technique for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) soils in Canada
Climate change impacts on aquifer depletion in Bangladesh
