Introduction
I am a first year (2022) PhD recruit for the Central European University's Environmental Management and Policy department. My dissertation focuses on the reintroduction of the Goitered gazelle in Kyrgyzstan's Issyk Kul Basin.
Otherwise, I'm studying 1. the Central Asian Steppe Tortoise as well as 2. how the seemingly limitless number of Petroglyphs in Central Asia relate to historical biogeography in the area.
At the same time, I'm lecturing at the American University of Central Asia.
