I joined the research group in February 2024, with a focus on human-mediated dispersal. I am currently working on understanding the role of globalization in the worldwide spread of invasive ant and insect species. I aim to dissect the specific types of trade responsible for transporting different taxa of invasive species across global scales using a combination of statistical and process-based models. I am also interested in the impact of ancient’ globalization such as the Silk Road on the eco-evolutionary dynamics and spatio-temporal patterns of biological invasions.
