Short presentation

I am currently pursuing a PhD in limnology at Uppsala University, where I am studying how northern hemisphere lakes are changing in a warming world and the consequences for lake food webs. My research primarily focuses on the role of phytoplankton, but I also study bacteria and zooplankton during the winter season and how their dynamics translate into the following seasons.
