My research interests span a wide range of insect-related topics, from biodiversity to applied entomology. In recent years, I have participated in projects focused on insect systematics, habitat conservation, management of alien species and monitoring of xylophagous beetles. I have a particular interest in predatory and parasitoid insect lineages, especially within the Neuroptera and Diptera orders. My research employs a multidisciplinary approach to explore past and present insect diversity, aiming to uncover their evolutionary history and understand their roles in both natural and managed ecosystems.
