Doctoral Researcher
shreya.pandey@oulu.fi
I am engaged in exploring biodiversity through eDNA metabarcoding and remote sensing, focusing on bioindicator species like arthropods and fungi across Finland. My work spans temporal scales to understand ecological changes and inform conservation. With a strong interest in habitat ecology, I aim to utilise tools for effective biodiversity monitoring.
