Cintia Akemi Oi

I hold Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (2008) and I graduated in Teaching for the same institution. I have the Master of Science with the major in Genetics and Evolution by UFSCAR (2010). In 2016, I finished my PhD in Biology at KU Leuven (Belgium) at the Laboratory of Socioecology and Social Evolution, and my main topic of research is about chemical ecology on wasps. I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at KU Leuven (2016-2022). Now, I am based at UCL (UK) working with origins of social behavior in solitary wasps funded by Marie Curie fellowship (MSCA-IF). My main interests are ecology and evolution of social behaviour in social insects, but also population genetics of bees and other social insects. E-mail: c.oi@ucl.ac.uk (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
