Mainly working on the taxonomy and phylogenetic systematics of insects, especially on the moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). My current interest is to clarify the diversity and biology (e.g. feeding habits) of primitive moths (Microlepidoptera), including leafminers and various groups feeding on bryophyta, lichen, fungi or dead plant material such as bird nests.
