Conferences and seminars
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege to share my research on topics spanning ectoparasites in avian populations, pest risk assessments, and invasive plant pathogens across various international conferences and seminars. Each event has offered a unique platform to discuss findings, explore collaborative efforts, and stay informed on developments in entomology and plant health. Here, you’ll find a collection of past presentations and seminars, showcasing my ongoing commitment to understanding and addressing environmental and ecological challenges worldwide.
