I’m working at the Department of Experimental and Functional Morphology as a research assistant, where I mainly help with the planning, preparation, and implementation of greenhouse experiments, as well as with the collection of field data in ongoing projects focused on various aspects of clonal growth and vegetative regeneration of plants. However, my main research interest is the relationships between plants and their pollinators – pollination ecology.
