I'm a PhD candidate visiting from the Forest Ecology Research Group of the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research in Hungary, where I work as an assistant research fellow.
I've completed my studies at the ELTE Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest as a biologist, specializing in forest ecology since starting my MSc.
During my PhD, I've been working with forest ecology experiments, aiming to compare the typical interventions of rotation and continous cover forestry in oak-dominated stands. I've been analysing how the regeneration and herb layers, and microclimate react to clearcuts, retention tree groups, partial cuts and various gaps in sessile-oak hornbeam production forests.
Since 2022, I've joined a landscape-level observation study aiming for a complex ecological comparison of rotation forestry and continuous cover forestry sites in Hungary, where I'm the responsible person for the GIS background of the study.
For the time between September 2025 and March 2026, I'm spending six months at the Department to learn more about the analysis of forest structure based on ALS data, and to do a comparative analysis of forest structural heterogeneity with rotation and continuous forestry sites in Hungary.
