I am fascinated by social insects and the complex ways in which their behavior, ecology and evolution are shaped by interactions. My research focuses on mutualism, chemical communication and behavior, particularly how these dynamics influence the evolutionary strategies of both plants and insects.

I am currently studying mutualism between Vachellia trees and Pseudomyrmex ants, investigating the role of ants in plant wound care. Previously, I studied the behavior and perception of Bombus terrestris to better understand insect perception and interactions with the environment.
