About me

I am a scientist and PhD candidate at the Nature Research Centre, specializing in insect behavior and chemical ecology.

I am also the founder of Tenebrita, a company dedicated to harnessing the potential of insects within the framework of the circular economy. Our mission is to transform organic waste into valuable resources through insect-based bioconversion, contributing to more sustainable agriculture, waste management, and ecological innovation.

Driven by a passion for applied biology, I seek to bridge scientific research with real-world impact — creating scalable, eco-friendly technologies that address global challenges in food systems, resource recovery, and environmental resilience.
