Biography

Research Interests: Aquatic Entomology, Aquatic Ecology, Biodiversity, and Biomonitoring.
My research focuses on macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of ecological impacts, studying the effects of physical, chemical, and heavy metals on aquatic systems. Additionally, I explored remote sensing for water quality assessment and utilized cytogenetic alterations in Chironomid larvae to detect toxicity.
