I have obtained a bachelor’s and master’s in Biochemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana. I joined the Microbiology group at NIB in 2022 as a PhD student. My research mainly revolves around the ecology of plant viruses, and I am particularly interested in understanding how they move and interact with different parts of ecosystems. In my PhD project, I am studying the viromes of wastewater, river water, wild plants and crops through high-throughput sequencing, which enables the detection of complete viral communities in each sample. Through this, I hope to understand how plant and other viruses persist in the environment, circulate between different parts of the ecosystem and influence ecological interactions and dynamics.
