Mavi Kotan

Mavi received their master's degree in management of natural resources from Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2020 and subsequently joined our working group as a PhD student. They study pesticide effects on aquatic non-target organisms under field relevant conditions. Mavi is especially interested in tackling the underestimation of pesticide effects on non-target organisms by including multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors, transgenerational effects as well as differing exposure scenarios into their research.
