Research Interests
My research interests focus on animal welfare and herd protection. As part of the mAInZaun project, I am working on the development of wolf deterrents. I am testing different potential deterrents for effectiveness against wolves and their effects on livestock.
I am also interested in science education and communication, especially for children and young people.
