I received my masters degree in Zoology from the University of Graz in 2012. I did my master thesis within the framework of the FWF-Project "Temperature-induced aggregation of young honeybees: Individual behaviour vs. collective behaviour" which dealt with the behaviour of young honeybees in a complex temperature gradient. The main emphasis of my work is on the investigation of swarm-intelligent behaviour in honeybees, mainly collective decision making.
Currently I'm a PhD student at the Artificial Life Lab and a member of the project team of ASSISIbf.
