I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine as a biologist in 2019. During my BSc studies I examined the effects of urbanization on isopod assemblages. I joined the Lendület Evolutionary Ecology Research Group in 2017 as an MSc student. Since then I am mainly interested in the thermal tolerance of the amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Currently, as a PhD student, I focus on the heat- and density-dependence of the interactions between Bd and its hosts.
