Elisa Rigosi – new postdoc
Hej everybody! I just joined the Animal Physiology group to start working as a postdoc with David O’Carroll! I will work on visual selective attention in flies and dragonflies performing both ”in vivo” electrophysiology and anatomical reconstructions!
I did my master in Neurobiology in Pisa, Italy, and obtained my PhD at the University of Trento (Italy) where I studied olfactory asymmetries in bees. In 2014 I moved to Adelaide, Australia, and started working with Steve Wiederman and David O’Carroll investigating the visual acuity of single photoreceptors in dragonflies, dipteran and bee species.
I am really looking forward to starting this new Swedish adventure!
