Since 2014, I have contributed to developing the artificial caterpillar method and co-authored (March 2022) 14 articles where artificial caterpillars were used. Developing this method and testing its usefulness to quantify predation pressure in different habitats was the aim of my PhD (Aarhus University, Denmark, 2017).

Between October 2018-October 2019, I worked at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel. My main task was investigating how the accidental oil spill of December 2014 affected ecosystem processes provided by arthropods in the Evrona Nature Reserve. During this stay, I co-authored seven articles published in international, peer-reviewed, journals. 

Between December 2019-April 2022, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of the Azores, Portugal. Within the AgroEcoservices (Assessing ecosystem services and disservices provided by arthropod species in Azorean agroecosystems) project, I used multiple monitoring tools to quantify ecosystem services and disservices simultaneously.
