I accept this invitation

Dean of the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Wrocław (term 2020-2024), Chair of the Scientific Discipline Council for Biological Sciences at the University of Wrocław (term 2020-2024), Head of the Laboratory of Biology and Forensic Entomology at the University of Wrocław (since 2019).

I specialize in environmental biology, conservation biology, ecology, forensic entomology, and archaeoentomology. My research focuses on invertebrates, with particular emphasis on insects, including saproxylic species, pollinators, forensic insects, protected species, endangered, and threatened species. I conduct and coordinate research related to taxonomy and systematics, as well as the biology and ecology of insects.

From 2017 to 2021, I served as the head of postgraduate studies in Environmental Management "Ekoznawca"; from 2008 to 2017, I held the position of deputy head of postgraduate studies in Environmental Management "Ekoznawca".

In the Laboratory of Biology and Forensic Entomology at the University of Wrocław, I conduct research in the field of forensic science, overseeing three doctoral students. I supervise the work of interns and trainees interested in biology and forensic entomology.

In the Laboratory of Conservation Biology and Invertebrate Conservation at the University of Wrocław, I focus on conservation biology, biodiversity conservation, and the assessment and evaluation of natural resources. I collaborate with the Polish Academy of Sciences Institute of Nature Conservation in Krakow on the creation of databases "Alien Species in Poland" and "Monitoring of Species and Natural Habitats," including those covered by the Natura 2000 program. I also coordinate research on protected, rare, or endangered insects, alien and invasive species, and economically significant insects.

I have participated as an expert in the "Roads for Nature" program, the "Bees Ask for Help" project, and the "Biodiversity Educator". Currently, I oversee the restoration project of the scarce duck Aythya nyroca in the Milicz Ponds Nature Reserve (a project carried out jointly with Wrocław Zoo and the company Milicz Ponds SA), of which I am a co-initiator.

I am the author of numerous scientific and popular science publications, having published nearly 380 papers. I have participated in many national and international conferences and workshops.



In connection with my work, I have made several foreign visits (Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Ukraine) and a long-term scientific internship at The Royal Holloway University of London.

I conduct workshops and lectures on biodiversity management and nature conservation. I am a member of the Regional Nature Conservation Council at the Regional Environmental Protection Directorate in Wrocław (term 2015-2020, 2020-2025), the Scientific Council of the Table Mountains National Park (term 2015-2020, 2020-2025), and the Chairman of the Presidium of the Scientific-Social Council of the "Middle Pomeranian Forests" Forestry Promotional Complex (term 2019-2023). I am an expert of the Polish National Committee of IUCN (2017-present). I am a member of the Polish Entomological Society (editorial secretary of the Keys to the Identification of Polish Insects, currently series editor since 2021).

As an auditor, I am also involved in quality systems and food and nutrition safety, as well as scientific marketing.

I'm currently professor of department of agrobiotechnology RUDN University Russia

1984 yılında Atatürk Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümüne kayıt yaptırdı. Lisans eğitimini 1988 yılında tamamladı. Aynı bölümde 1989 yılında Araştırma Görevlisi olarak göreve başladı. 1991 yılında Yüksek Lisans ve 1995 yılında Doktora Öğrenimini tamamladı. 1995 yılı içerisinde Yardımcı Doçentliğe atandı. 1998 yılında Doçent, 2004 yılında Profesör unvanını aldı. 2000 ve 2002 yılları arasında 2 yıl süre ile Atatürk Üniversitesi bünyesinde yer alan Tarımsal Araştırma ve Yayım Merkezi Müdürlüğü görevini yürüttü. 2008 ve 2012 yılları arasında 4 yıl süre ile Ziraat Fakültesi Dekan Yardımcılığı görevinde bulundu.

I was born in the city of Los Mochis, in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Considered one of the top producers and exporters of tomatoes and other vegetables, I was always interested in learning about plant biology and agriculture. I obtained my BSc in Biology focused in plant ecology and evolution, then my MSc and PhD in Plant Biotechnology were focused in developmental genetics and evolution in plant reproductive biology. Afterwards, I came to USA for my postdoc in the Lippman lab at CSHL, working in genome editing in tomato. After my postdoc, I spent 5 years in industry working with multiple crops (corn, soybeans, vegetables and flowers) managing or contributing to teams working in trait development, focused in implementation of both forward and reverse genetics strategies for trait discovery and deployment.

When I'm not in the lab or in my office, I spend time with my family playing UNO, CATAN or playing my upright bass, trying to learn some jazz tunes!

I am involved in diverse projects. My current work focuses on wheat breeding under different abiotic stresses such as drought, heat and flooding. I study traits of different aspects affected by abiotic stress, including agronomic traits, grain yield, physiological traits, protein quality traits and mineral composition. My study also involves image-based phenotyping techniques for plant morphological variations under stress conditions. I work in a project that studies the structure-function relationships of protein extrudates from grain legumes. Another project that I am working with is about utilizing brown-juice to strengthen the lettuce growth.
