Hi, I’m Jamie! I’ve just started my PhD in Susanne Åkesson’s lab, where my project will provide an in-depth investigation of migratory phenotypes in songbird species, with a focus on behavioural adaptations, cognitive traits, and physiology. My background is in computational biology, so a large part of my project will involve developing artificial intelligence tools to extract behavioural information from experimental data, bypassing the limitations of traditional methods.
I spent the last two years working as a Data Scientist for an epigenetics-focussed biotech company in the UK. Before that, I completed my Master’s in Bioinformatics & Theoretical Systems Biology at Imperial College London. Whilst I have little experience in animal navigation, evolutionary ecology is an area I have maintained a keen interest in since undergrad, and I am really excited to be studying it again! Outside of research, I’m very into skateboarding, football, cycling, and all kinds of music. Although I’m not much of a birder yet, I’m looking to get more into it, so please feel free to share any tips!
Igår var det stor avtackning av Erling Jirle. Ekologihusets foajé var full av folk som ville visa Erling sin uppskattning.
Erling började jobba på Lunds universitet 1981 efter en mycket kort anställningsintervju. Sedan dess har han hjälpt ett oräkneligt antal personer med problemlösning av alla de slag.
Eric Warrant berättade om alla gånger Erling varit behjälplig och kommit med kreativa lösningar.
Även Christer Löfstedt höll tal. Christer har varit Erlings chef under många och visade bland annat upp en pärm full av listor som Erling skrivit under åren. Erling är också känd för att skriva lappar, en del så svavelosande att de inte passade att läsas upp.
Trots pensionering kommer vi se Erling på institutionen även i fortsättningen. Han ska jobba med i första hand CECs flytt till Geocentrum.
Erling har dessutom en hel massa fritidsintressen, bland annat öl, fågelskådning och numera även mikroskopering. Så han kommer inte att vara sysslolös som pensionär. Närmast kommer Erling att åka på en resa till Bolivia för att fira sin ”pension”.
Tack Erling för allt du fixat under åren. Hoppas du får lite tid till att vara pensionär också!

Hi there, I’m Calley Eads, the new research engineer at the Microscopy for Biosciences platform (M-Bio). I’m responsible for six instruments across multiple locations in Ecology, Biology, and MAX IV. My role involves not only maintaining and developing instrumentation, but also supporting your research! We have instruments that combine both microscopy and spectroscopy for chemical identification overlaid on spatial coordinates, probing vibrational (infrared, Raman) or electronic (X-ray) interactions.
I come from the synchrotron world, having spent three years as a beamline postdoc at MAX IV and performing numerous studies at synchrotrons back home in the States. My scientific work is heavily driven by a variety of spectroscopic tools that allow me, for example, to probe chemical reactions in real time or study electron dynamics in individual materials and across junctions that resemble the architecture of many device structures. However, I don’t have a formal biological background. My hope is to work together with people here – where you can share your interesting scientific challenges, and I can bring my expertise in material analysis. By combining what we each do best, we can learn from each other and keep building on the nice research program already in place.
During warmer months, I love hitting the mountain bike trails and exploring the forests and “hills” of Skåne. As the cold approaches, I tend to retreat to the warmth with a good book in hand or a pen for drawing.
I look forward to learning more about the diverse biology and ecology research areas that are important to everyone here and helping to advance your research through the use of microscopy and spectroscopy tools!
Hi! I’m Ayla Mongès, I joined Kristin Aleklett Kadish as a postdoc in the Functional Ecology department. I will be working on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil chip to have a better understanding of hyphal behavior and foraging strategies.
I have a background in plant physiology and plant-microbe interactions. I worked on the common mycorrhizal network and the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis during my master degree. Then I did my PhD with Soizic Rochange in Pierre-Marc Delaux’s team in France on the perception of phytohormones by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
After my PhD, I walked the entire length of New Zealand with my tent, so I am a big fan of hiking. I love to read, dance and sing. I’m looking forward to meeting you, talking about science or hiking trails and getting tips on how to survive in Sweden.

Hej!
I’m Bastien Clémot, and I’ve recently joined Marie Dacke’s Lab in the Vision Group as a PhD student. My research focuses on how dung beetles use noisy cues to maintain straight steering.
I come from a multidisciplinary background with education in naturalism, adaptive and behavioural ecology, and computer science. I’ve always been fascinated by arthropods — their features, behaviours, and adaptations to diverse environments — which first brought me to the Vision Group. Last semester, I completed my Master’s thesis in Stanley Heinze’s Lab, where I worked on multiple goal integration in the insect central complex. Now, I’m excited to continue my scientific journey here, learning new things and applying my skills and knowledge.
Outside of the lab, I love nature photography and hiking, and you might spot me at a nearby climbing gym! I’m also a big nerd, with a strong interest in video games, D&D, and fantasy writing. Feel free to stop by my desk anytime—I’d love to chat!
Looking forward to meeting you all!
