I am a Ph.D. student in the Ecology and genetics department under the supervision of Dr. Eva Kallio. My Ph.D. project title is "Wildlife-originated zoonoses in changing northern environments" and my current research focus is on finding the spatial-temporal effect of wildlife on changing the zoonotic disease pattern such as Lyme Borreliosis and Nephropathia epidemica in Northern environments, using joint species distribution models (JSDMs).
