Following my master\u2019s studies, I spent over a year teaching an undergraduate course on the ecology of lakes and rivers at UDSM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Nord University, working on Project CHIPOLATA where I am studying the ecological changes in the pelagic fish communities of Lake Tanganyika in response to overharvesting and climate change, under supervision of Prof. Joost Raeymaekers. My research focuses on the changes in trophic ecology, morphological traits, dietary composition and growth trajectories of the Lake Tanganyika\u2019s clupeids (sardines), <em>Stolothrissa tanganicae<\/em> and <em>Limnothrissa miodon<\/em>, together with the latid perch <em>Lates stappersii<\/em>.
