I have a PhD in Applied Ecology from the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. I have experience with handling datasets because during my PhD, I worked with enormous datasets for both field and lab research. I am also skilled at analyzing large datasets, and one of my papers was published using the field data I collected in Sweden on strawberries of different genotypes( link to publication: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1049964422000846). I am also highly responsible, organized, and on time. I am very receptive to new chances and duties. I fought very hard to earn this PhD in the western world despite coming from a totally different background and culture, which further indicates my ability to handle pressure and function in a variety of situations.
Supervised a Master student from China in different experiments and showed them how to rear insects. Contributed to the
writing and review of the report written by the student.

Project: Research on the mechanisms to regulate aphids in strawberries via genetic diversity, plant resistance, direct induced resistance and biological control.
. In 2019, we studied the aphid species abundance and relative predator abundance in an experimental field site at Alnarp, Southern Sweden, planted with plots with combinations of 20 different genotypes of wild strawberries. Experimental populations of wild woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca) were used to test, whether the degree of plant genotypic diversity and/or the existence of specific resistance traits, could structure their hosted communities of generalist and specialist aphids and their natural enemies.
Data was collected and analysed in R.
The goal of this PhD project was to use plant resistance, genotypic diversity, and induced resistance to control the aphid population. This project's research shows the effects of: 1) genotypic diversity and resistance on aphids and their natural enemies, 2) hemipteran-induced defense responses, and 3) predator-induced resistance on aphids and a pathogen.
Highlights
• Intrinsic resistance in wild strawberry plantations inhibited generalist aphid population.
•Plant genotypes that were resistant against a chewing beetle (Galerucella tenella), conveyed resistance to generalist aphid only.
•There were more specialists aphids on high diversity plots.
•Anthocorids and Lacewing adults were more on high diversity plots, whereas other specialist predators followed aphid prey.
