My research has focused on molecular phylogenetics and systematics, and evolutionary history of insects, mainly Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera as model organisms, using NGS techniques and bioinformatics. I have extensive experience in utilising museum collections for my research. In particular, my work strives for a better understanding of genomic-scale biodiversity patterns, cryptic/over-split species, historical introgression and gene flow, and objective species delimitation.

I have taught a variety of biology courses, for instance, Biological collections, Molecular methods, Molecular phylogenetics, and Biological laboratory.
