Research interests
The function and production of freshwater food webs depends on availability of essential omega-3 fatty acids and sterols. My research interest is to study how climate change (e.g. eutrophication, brownification) impact on synthesis and transfer of omega-3 fatty acids and sterols. I also study the importance of terrestrial organic carbon to lake food web by using fatty acid profiles of consumers and diets in Bayesian mixing models.
