Ana has recently joined the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences as a postdoctoral researcher within the project Human–Wildlife Conflicts under Global Change.
She completed her PhD at the Estación Biológica de Doñana (CSIC, Spain), where she studied the demography and population dynamics of grey wolves in human-dominated landscapes. Her research focuses on carnivore ecology, population dynamics and human–wildlife interactions, combining large datasets with advanced quantitative methods.
As part of her postdoctoral project, she will analyse large-scale patterns of brown bear damage across Europe and investigate the ecological drivers of human-bear conflicts using spatial data, remote sensing and hierarchical modelling approaches.
