Biography

I am a university teacher of statistics at the Faculty of Sport and Health sciences. In addition to teaching statistical methods in the faculty, I guide master's students and consult researchers in statistical analyses.

My research focuses on statistical method development for community ecology.

I prefer contacts via email. My office is located in L-building L230.

Research interests

I’m interested in multivariate statistical modeling. My research focuses on studying and developing computational tools and statistical methods for modeling spatial and temporal patterns, for example, in ecological community data.
