About me

After earning my master’s degree in Animal Science, I entered the PhD SDC to broaden my climate change knowledge and to investigate its effects on the livestock sector from a multidisciplinary perspective.

My research

My research project involves modeling of dairy cow’s response to heat stress. The study aims to investigate the complexity of animal response with a system thinking approach and to formulate policies for dairy cattle farm adaptation to climate change.
