My scientific interests lie in the domain of exploring neural network mechanisms constitutional for learning and memory in insects.

I'm currently investigating the neurophysiological and behavioral changes in honeybees that suffer from various diseases and poisoning. How is learning and memory impaired in sick bees, and how can sick bees be diagnosed in order to reveal external threats to the bee colony? I'll contribute in the  development of an automatic conditioning system for honeybees. Additionally, I'll use different approaches of optical imaging and recording techniques to investigate neural coding in memory-impaired bees.
