I am a master’s student at the University of Greifswald in Germany, enrolled in the Landscape Ecology and Nature Conservation program. Currently, I am finalizing my master’s thesis on the potential use of spatial modeling for studying Marmota bobak (a large burrowing rodent) in Kazakhstan.

Since 2015, I have been actively collaborating with the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan (ACBK) and have participated in several field studies on saiga, steppe rodents, and white-headed ducks. I am now a staff member of the organization.

My main research interests lie in the study of steppe ecosystems and the distribution of steppe mammals, as well as understanding and resolving human-wildlife conflicts. I am also particularly fascinated by studying wild animal behavior.

In my free time, I train my dogs in commands and tricks, spend a lot of time outdoors, and organize science outreach lectures for anyone interested.
