I am research-oriented with a strong interest in pollen analysis across both modern and fossil contexts. I work with honey pollen (melissopalynology) to identify and classify different honey types and to determine their botanical origins. In this context, I am particularly interested in the relationship between pollen composition, floral diversity, and bee health.

I am currently working on my Master’s degree in Botany with a focus on Paleobotany, specializing in the analysis of fossil pollen. In parallel, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Ecology and Ecosystems. My academic interests lie at the intersection of botany, ecology, and palynology, combining microscopic analysis of modern and fossil pollen to better understand plant diversity, ecosystem dynamics, and environmental change.
